In the second episode of a four-part story arc, Archie's union is still on strike, and the Bunkers' household debts continue to mount. When Archie isn't on the picket line, he is sitting around the house wallowing in self-pity. Edith tries to put on a happy face, but even she is pushed to the breaking point by Archie's constant moping and the ever-tightening money supply. Written by Don Nicholl, Michael Ross, and Bernie West, "Archie Underfoot" first aired on September 21, 1974. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
