Mine was the episode three part where they go to California.

My favorite episode is when Mike broke Archies chair.

[Becky W]

If I'm remembering correctly, the 3-part episode where they go to California is also the episode when Gloria tells Edith that she and Mike are getting a divorce? Well, anyways, if it's same episode, I have kind of a funny story about it. All I remember is Edith crying at the news of the divorce, and then using toilet paper to blow her nose and wipe her eyes. The toilet paper is still attached to its roll in the bathroom, and Edith drags a long string of it around the house with her. I saw this episode as a little kid, and was intrigued by what Edith was doing with the toilet paper, and imitated her, which earned me a richly deserved spanking from my father!

I liked the one where Archie and Mr.Jefferson argued over whether or not God was black.I liked when Archie spent time in jail trying to save Mike from a protest rally,and I also loved the season 2 episode where Sammy Davis guested.

MIKE:He's not the kind of guy who'd burn a cross on your lawn.
SAMMY DAVIS:But if one was burning,he'd toast a marshmallow on it.

I would like to get a copy of that Sammy Davis Episode. I thought it was hilarious when Sammy kissed Archie when the photographer was taking a picture. Then I saw a 1980 episode when Sammy came by Archie Bunker's Place and he wound up at the hospital. In the end, little Stephanie tells Sammy to kiss Uncle Archie. Archie refuses to let that happen but in return, Stephie and Archie kiss Sammy at the same time. I thought that was the best!

I also loved "Death of a lodger" when Don Rickles dies in Barney Heffners house.Mr.Bookman from Good Times appears at the start of the episode.

funny!!

I loved the episodes when Maude and Archie fight.

[Richard]

Boy,was that a classic.It definitely showed how much an antithesis of Archie Maude really was.When she got her own show the next year, one critic said it was good-but liked Maude better when she had,"an adversary worthy of her."

MAUDE:Roosevelt got us out of the Depression.
ARCHIE:And right into World War Two.
MAUDE:Which he won as CXommander-in-Chief.
ARCHIE:General MacArthur won the war-and Roosevelt fired him!
MAUDE:That was Truman!
ARCHIE:Under sealed orders from FDR!!!

My favorite episode is the one where Mikes friend the draft dodger comes over and Archie loses it on Christmas Eve. It puts chill bumps on me

[Steve Pellettiere]

My favorite episode is when Archie gets locked in his basement after Irene Lorenzo tryed to fix his basement door nob. He is shown drinking and getting drunk throughout the whole show.

The one where everyone in the family except Edith is sick, and Maude drops in to help house. When Maude makes breakfast, she feeds Archie Cream-of-Wheat with cheese, and says, "It's light, but it binds."

And when Edith gets sick at the end: "Maudie's here!!!!!"

Felix: "Responsibility" is my middle name, Mister!

Oscar: And "Pest" is your FIRST name, Mister!

I like the one where Gloria has the baby. She's stuck in a phone booth for ages, finally gets out, is taken to the hospital, and is met my Archie dressed as a black for a minstrel show - the nurse misunderstands the word minstrel and thinks Archie is in a menstrual show! For better or for worse, the baby finally makes his appearance by the end of the show (it was a two-parter).

[Richard]

Last night on N@N I saw a rerun of a very special episode,which was a turning-point for Archie,in a way.It was the show where Archie's old pal Stretch Cunningham died and he was asked to give a few words at his funneral.Boy was Archie surprised to find that Cunningham was really Jewish.

I liked the dialouge between Archie and Edith;
"Why didn't he tewll me he was a jew?It wouldn't have mattered."
"Maybe he felt it would've."
(A lot of wisdom can come from Edith.)

The funneral speech was funny,and at the same time touching.As I recall it was the last episode of the 1976-77 season...and all things considered,would've been a good last episode for the whole series if TPTB hadn't let Greed control them.

One of my Favorite Episodes was when the Refrigerator breaks. Archie, Mike, Gloria and Edith each tell their side of the story with what happened to it in a restaraunt.

One of my favorites was one of the episodes where Archie was driving a cab, part time, & he picks up a real classy broad. She faints in his cab & he gives her the 'kiss of life - artificial "restitution"'. It turns out to be a transvestite. I've been thinking it was Devine, but maybe not...
