Judging Books By CoversEpisode Number: 5 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Tuesday February 9, 1971 Prod Code: 104 |
Roger, a friend of Mike and Gloria's, stops by for a visit. Archie takes one look at him and labels him as gay due to what Archie considers effeminate behavior, even though Mike insists that he isn't. Mike soon makes a realization that one of Archie's drinking buddies, Steve is actually a well-adjusted, sports loving, straight-acting, gay man.
| Writer: | Burt Styler, Norman Lear |
| Director: | John Rich (II) |

| Guest Star: | Billy Sands (Nick), Anthony Geary (Roger), Phil Carey (Steve), Linn Patrick (Jerry), Billy Halop (Barney) |
When Archie asks for two beers over a the table that Steve and he are sitting at, neither of them ever take a drink of either beer. The glasses get moved twice, but no one drinks. In addition, the beer is served in iced tea glasses.
(edit)
There's a nice touch of reality when Steve is eating peanuts where one falls from mouth but they left it in. It's something that's likely to really happen accidentally but most shows would cut it out.
(edit)
Who would have seen it coming that the two leads, Anthony Geary and Philip Carey would go on to the land of soap operas? Anthony Geary would play the character of "Luke Spencer" on General Hospital and Philip Carey would play the character of "Asa Buchanan" on the daytime soap, One Life to Live.
(edit)
Mike: Whaddya mean Arch?
Archie: Whadya think I mean? F-A-G, fruit!
Mike: That's right, you always have to hang a label on everything don't you?!
Archie: (affecting a lisp) Well if the purse fits. (edit)
