Looking forward to watching this one again on Antenna TV. Probably my favorite episode from season 6.

One of that season's best for sure.
"What's this? It looks like a cooked pickle". "Kuzzini".

That scene and the one with Quigley in the bar are my favorites.

[–] Fletcherj119 7 years ago

Just about any scene with Archie in that one is great.

Archie is the best.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!

The later seasons cried out for more episodes like that.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Actually, the later seasons just did more crying. Lol. More serious later on.

Too serious.
Chalk it up to a different writing team than the one they had prior to the Stivics moving out, which was a better one.

Sometimes. Still pretty excellent though.

I thought some could've used more comic relief. Like "Edith's Crisis of Faith".

That's the episode that I've often referred to as the Farewell Episode because it's the final episode for three people on the show:

Billy Halop (Bert Munson)

Burt Mustin (Justin Quigley)

Bob Hastings (Tommy Kelsey*)

*Frank Maxwell would portray Tommy Kelsey in Archie Gets The Business, the final appearance of Kelsey...

Interesting. I love the asterisk.
