You took it to a higher level-right first!
I was looking for the scene on
YouTube and although I didn't find it I spent 10 minutes watching the episode where Edith dropped a can of cling peaches (in heavy syrup
) on someone's car and left a note with her name and phone number.
I could go back and spend all day watching all the clips.
I was really young, about 4 or 5, but I remember my parents watching it. I guess I watched it just a little because growing up I did know and was familair with the characters. Jowever, because I was 4 or 5 and the show went off the air soon after that, I can't say I watched it a lot.
However, a number of years ago, I caught an ep on Nick at Nite. I am almost 34, so I was around, oh, 28-30, I'd say when I caught this ep and it made me cry. I was lying in bed, just silently weeping.
The episode was the one where Edith wanted to buy Archie some gift for his birthday. I think a new TV or something that cost a bit of money and so she went to the bank to get a personal loan for the money. However the bank would not loan her the money because she was a woman. Soory I cannot remember who played Edith, but her acting in that episode was obviously very powerful if it had me crying. And that show occured around the time I was born (up until I was 5 or 6), but it made me realize just how much times have changed on 30+ years and what women can and cannot do and how they are thought of (of course there are some who still believe this way....) I mean just around the time I was born (1976) women were still held back and then by the time I was 10, i was watching commercials on TV for Barbie dolls where the jingle was "We girls can do anything..."
It still makes me cry to see that episode. That was some fine acting.
Sorry to take this off topic...the Archie Bunker comments made me think.
To get back on topic, I put on socks first and then shoes. I never untie my shoes, I just slide them on. Most of my shoes are slide on shoes, however I still leave my running shoes tied and just pull them on. Meanwhile my husband sits down like Mr. Rodgers and takes off his shoes and socks one by one and lines them up neatly under the bench and then goes to the closet and puts on a cardigan.............."It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood......."
What a maroon.
- I remember that episode. That was a great show. No way it could make it on air today, too politically incorrect for how sensitive society is now. But it really explored some important issues for it's time.
