Aside from All In the Family being the funniest show ever on television, it also has to be the most saddening. The episode where Mike and Gloria move to California is the saddest damned thing I’ve ever seen. Why can’t television be this good anymore? Le Sigh.

My wife still teases me about that episode. When it gets to the part where Mike tells Archie he’s like a father to him? I absolutely lose it every time… Yeah, that one is a classic.
Totally. The Archie/Mike scene is hardcore. Mike hugging Archie and telling him that he loves him, yet Archie still can’t budge emotionally even given the gravity of the moment. Stunning writing and portrayal!
