lol, vanity music publishing? it's incredible how long these scams have existed :D
people are gullible. we find what appears to be an opportunity, we get a little stroke of the ego, some notice is taken of our individual value, we get some "official" evidence of a talent we all secretly believe we possess...and best of all, there's a chance to make some money.
who wouldn't get taken in? who doesn't want to find that pot of gold, finally, after so many previous rainbows turned out to be duds?
useful dramatic conflict for tv aside...you can't help but wonder why Mike refused to find work. working + full time college is totally normal, at least for those of us without trust funds.
walk down the street and get a job as a drugstore clerk, grocery store cashier, or bank teller, even part time...we all had to do it, lol =P
i dunno how anyone could leech off his wife like that--not even his girlfriend, she's his WIFE--and feel comfortable from day to day. it would drive me nuts.
sometimes they should just let meat head shut up they could have written better lines at one point he is smart the next he is screaming about a god damn luger
One thing I have wondered all of these 40 years: How in the world could Mike have ever lived with a dude like Archie? With all the low income housing, friends, etc., there must have been some avenue other than living with such a knucklehead as Archie. Of course, that was what made the whole show, but I know I could not stay with him for even one day!
@SeattleLA I think that really showed the commitment that Mike had for Gloria. He was willing to put up with her parents until she was ready to leave the nest. He got along great with Edith though :)
@berryblitz07 I don't think it was about his commitment to Gloria or about her not wanting to leave. As a full-time student, Mike had no income except what he earned from tutoring once in awhile and Gloria didn't earn enough to manage rent on her own.
Well..being a retired burglar, I can tell you..I was more afraid of coming across an armed man than I ever was of the police. Guns are a big deterrent. And its so easy for a criminal to get a gun, they would get one even if there was a gun ban. All gun bans do is take the protection away from good law abiding people, thats all it does.
Edith started tripping out because Arch came home and dinner wasn't ready. I would not want a marriage like that. Living under tension. HILARIOUS though! LOL
@jsunflyguy You have got that right. Those pistols are highly sought after collector items and, from what I've heard, they are considered nearly the best made pistol in history. Some useless trivia but, they made only TWO of them in .45 caliber from what I was told. Guy who told me this said one is missing, the other is in some collector's hands and he said those weapons would each be worth well over 1 million dollars each.
You sound like a regular "Billy Saul Graham". This is a very cryptic Bunkerism.
It seems Archie confused Billy Graham with ultraconservative preacher Billy James Hargis, who was parodied by Don Imus in NYC radio as "Billy Saul Hargis".
He was a guy that was a member of the Weather Underground in the 60s that bombed the Pentagon and other buildings. He didnt kill anyone, and he sinced changed his life and redeemed himself by becoming an educator and Professor for the University Of Chicago Illinois. There was a big hoopla about him and Obama during the election, because Obama was a member or the Annenberg Project as well as Prof. Ayers. Other than that. There was no connection to Pres. Obama and Prof. Ayers

If a gun was used on a crimescene it leaves unique marks on the bullets.

I think he meant the "bluebird of happiness".
