Vivian The Liberated Woman
by Jimmy_the_Gent42020-01-15

"Arthur is angry that Vivian is going out and not taking care of her wifely duties. An amusing mostly Arthur/Vivian episode. It begins with Arthur complaining to Maude about Vivian not being home. Vivian arrives and explains she was at a women's liberation group meeting. Arthur and Vivian have a fight and he goes to visit his dead wife at a mausoleum. Bert Beasley (J Pat O'Malley) makes his first appearance before later becoming a semi regular when he is paired with Mrs Naugatuck...."
