They may have drove each other crazy and disagreed on everything but at the end of the day they were family. If anything all their bickering and driving each other up the wall made them much more like Father and Son than father in law and son in law lol.

That may be true, but i'm sure they argued or fought not long after just like before! 😄

I watched this episode for Thanksgiving Day this year. I smiled when I saw Archie hugged Mike. He may not have showed it, but I think deep down and on very rare occasions, he cared for Mike.

@@superstarreviews9937 But the downstairs was so large. Also, whatever happened to the attic that Cousin Oscar slept (and died) in? After that, the only other place to sleep besides the two bedrooms was the living room sofa.

[@STONESGAM]

I was recently at a friend's house my buddy and his GF are renting and it only had 1 bathroom upstairs. Kind of a hassle. It's an old house in a University town and was just built that way for some reason.

[@Logan_Baron]

And bedrooms were usually small in that area and time. The concept being they were only to sleep in. You only went up there at bedtime. No need for more than the space for a bed and nightstand. Even if you read in bed before dozing off, you brought the one book up with you rather than having a bookshelf in the bedroom.

Feel free to look up groucho and marx brothers. They were still on TV when this show was cast, but groucho passed on in 1977. Reiner didn't carry out this particular role so well, but it made sense to viewers at the time.

One thing I liked was that Meathead, he could have simply showed up. Instead he goes the extra mile, doing a great Groucho Marx impression, at least hoping it would get a cheap laugh out of Archie. Since Archie probably grew up around the time the Marx Brothers were big.

[@generalgk]
