Archie and Edith and Barney and Blanche
by Jimmy_the_Gent42018-05-16

"Barney Hefner's wife Blanche came back to him after running off with another man, they invite Archie and Edith to a cabin for a weekend of fishing. Estelle Parsons plays Blanche in this episode, she previously played a different role in the Season 7 show "Archie's Secret Passion". This episode tries to be funny with the couples getting into arguments and the women end up in one bed and the men in the other. However it just gets silly, not as bad as most of Season 9, but that's not saying much...."

💡 Did You Know?

At around 6 minutes the first scene at the cabin shares a number of similarities to a scene in Soprano Home Movies (2007) of The Sopranos (1999). In both scenes: two married couples play Monopoly; refer to money as "simoleons"; disagree over the rules and have an argument leading to the end of the game.
