Edith always did seem subservient to Archie, Line. And that chair was like Archie's royal throne. Great limerick! Congrats on your win in Joseph's contest, Carolyn

But, but, but, oh, oh, oh, 'Achie,' I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I didn't mean to scald the potatoes...' What a show! Can you imagine what would happen to the writers and cast of that show today?! Their stuff wouldn't even make it ON TO the cutting floor! In fact, they'd probably all be in the Federal slammer with Big Bill Cosby, (who has just completed his 4th month on the inside)… ~ gw

O Gershon, some shows (and people) belong buried deep in the past.

"Women's lib went quick feisty from frumpy"; yes indeed and men like Archie did a lot to boost it! Great choice and good luck in the contest.

I shudder to think there were so many more men as bad as Archie.
