Hi All

How do you guys feel about the show when Theresa moved in? Some say the show "jumped the shark" around this time. I think one of the funniest episodes was when she had her boyfriend over while "The Bonkers" were away...and just as they were about to get it on...Archie and Edith come back!

Watching Edith totally unsure of what to do to keep Archie at bay until they can smuggle the boyfriend out is priceless! And who can forget the classic line after all that from Archie.."...ain't they a coupla dopes!"

Double role play...Theresa played a nurse in the emergency room during one of Archie's trips there. "Are choo bleething???"

I don't think the show jumped the shark until Mike and Gloria left, n my opinion Stephanie was the All in the Family version of Cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch. Her appearance spelled the inevitable end of the show, as we the viewer had previously known it. As far as Teresa, I loved her character and think she added a great deal of warmth to the show. I always thought it sweet when she would call Archie "poppy" and her accent bothering Archie was hilarious. It was a shame that she did not last longer and was not even given a mention when she left the show.

when she played a nurse in the emergency room that time, she was the same character. Remember, Archie and/or Edith said they knew her from when Archie was in the hospital.
