Much better than pt.1

I have hope now the series has some life left. Very good script. Story was sad, but funny with Archie on strike.

Sensible thing is everybody must find part-time jobs. Archie didn't go to Kelsey's to kill time and drown his sorrows in a couple of beers?

The strike continues

Archie is stuck on the picket line and comes home to less money and food in the house.

There are funny scenes as Archie tries to talk to Edith who is too busy with housework. The best scene is when Edith says she opened up new bank accounts to get free gifts but the they cannot take out the money for a year. Archie is angry and tells her it's the dumbest thing she ever did. She starts to cry and Archie feels guilty and tries to console her, but she continues sobbing, Archie finally says "Edith, ya done good!" She finally stops but he adds "Your heart was in the right place, but yer head was out to lunch!" The episode ends with Archie taking food from the Jeffersons,no less!

Trivia
At one point, Archie holds up a digest-sized magazine and reads aloud a headline off the cover: "Your Personality May Be Killing You" (before hilariously tossing it on the floor). This was a real article. It was written by Patrick Young, originally printed in National Observer, and appeared in the August 1974 issue of The Reader's Digest.
