1. Mike Stivic seems a bit ungrateful toward Archie, who fed & sheltered him for 6 seasons

That's it, I'm getting old.

3. Well, yeah. But Archie always tried to control Mike and Gloria. Had I been

in the Stivics' place, I would have found somewhere else to live.

4. Mike thanks Archie profusely in the episode...

...in which the Stiviks say goodbye as they're leaving to move to California.

[Curmudgeoness]

5. It wouldn't have been so funny

if Mike didn't always argue with Archie. And you have to admit, Archie was a real ass.

2. Oh Lord! I can relate. I've been putting off a visit home for years

so that I don't have to protect my now grown son from my mother's insistance that believe what she believes...

[Plucketeer]

6. I wuz razed wit no realigious influenzas whutsoeber!

If I have ANYTHING to be grateful to my parents for - it's that!

[DeSwiss]

7. Edith Bunker: Religion = No fun

''Children ought to go to church when they're little cause when they're older they're having too much fun to be religious.''

- I couldn't agree with you more Edith. I've also found that most controlling, indoctrinating systems of belief designed to make one subservient to a ''higher authority'' are a real bummer......

8. "We're going to raise that child a Christian if we have to break ever commandment to do it!"

That me be the best line in TV history.
