@surfer53 Despite no formal education, Archie always had lots more common sense than his meatheaded son-in-law.

The irony of all of this was that the show tended to take sides with Mike on things and Archie couldn't seem to do or say anything right. Archie was the bigot, Mike was the enlightened yet perhaps arrogant progressive. If that's the case, Archie scored the coup de gras here. Even if he was uniformed and ignorant due to his upbringing, he knew what was important in life and always tried to do the right thing. When the chips were down, Mike joined a commune while Archie stood by his family.

'What crapola",indeed!

I can remember watching this show,for a while anyway..We didn't have cable,so our viewing choices were pretty limited.But we watched this on Sunday evening,along with The Jeffersons,and Alice..and some times,Quincy.

Having said that,I don't remember Billie or the black housekeeper at all....

A real meat head in office! Very funny indeed!

Gloria, Stephanie and Billie all came to realize that the conservative values embraced by Archie suited them far better than the liberal standards of the other people in their lives. Gloria certainly came to appreciate Archie more than she did Mike. Stephanie came to resent her father for leaving her, and even faulted her late mother for running off with another man and leaving her behind. Billie actually hauled off at her carefree father in one episode, and ran to Archie for support.

Well, I would not say Mike got conservative. He simply got older and acquired more responsibilities. However, it can be said that Mike never got over his left wing liberal days, and that he was a powder keg all those years just waiting to explode. He tried with all his might to embrace the conventional lifestyle, but simply could not pull it off. This scenario is actually not unrealistic at all.

I never watched the show that much. Who is Billie supposed to be?

@jerzeytpke Come on, we're talking about a fictional character. Rob Reiner didn't want to play Mike anymore so the writers got pissed and made him the bad guy. This storyline didn't make any sense. Mike had become much more conservative after graduating and moving out of the house. Why would he move to a commune? Not to mention communes were really something of the early 1970s.
