I am currently watching Season 9 and I think I just found the worst episode of this classic show. It is Episode 18 "Barney the Gold Digger". Edith and Archie fix up Barney Hefner with a friend of Edith's we've never heard of, and aren't even sure how they know each other. The friend is wealthy, but extremely overweight. So lots of weight shaming jokes that would be inappropriate today. Then we hear that Barney has taken her out several times, and may or may not be doing so for her money. And then it just sort of...ends. Are there other episodes as bad as this one?

I'm currently on Prime rewatching the series, and I noticed Season 8 is missing four episodes. Turns out they were pulled due to licensing issues. The four episodes are 8,9,10,11. They are "Archie's Bitter pill Parts 1 and 2" and "Archie and the KKK Parts 1 and 2". Have not been able to find them. Only Prime has season 8. Tubi and Pluto tv does not. Appreciate any help.

Edith laughed, but Maude thought it was disgusting.

I liked Father Majeski. I was glad he came back for a couple more episodes.

ARCHIE: Aw, for cryin’ out loud! Who parks a tank in the middle o’ the street? (Wilson Fisk steps out, stoic.)
ARCHIE: Oh great, Andre the Giant in a tie. Hey pal, learn how to use your rearview mirror, huh? You people think you own the road!
KINGPIN: You might want to watch your tone, Mr.?
ARCHIE: Bunker. And you might wanna watch your waistline! Look at this thing, it’s longer than the Dodgers’ losing streak! 
KINGPIN: That car costs more than your home.
ARCHIE: Now you wait just a second! Nobody insults my house but me!
KINGPIN: I address disrespect when I encounter it.
ARCHIE: Oh, terrific. The attitude police. What are ya, one of them woke social workers?
KINGPIN: Mr. Bunker... I built an empire out of discipline. You live in a world of imagined grievances. You shout because you’ve never truly been heard*.*
ARCHIE: Yeah, well, I built my family outta…I built my chair outta…well, I sit in my chair!
KINGPIN: Truly, an inspiration.
ARCHIE: Don’t you start with your sarcasm, pal! You think you’re tough ‘cause you wear fancy clothes and talk pretty? I seen your type!
KINGPIN: I am my type. There’s only one. You could have simply apologized.
ARCHIE: Apologize? To you*?* You park like a dictator and expect me to grovel? Forget it! I pay taxes!
KINGPIN: And yet the city still looks like this. How unfortunate.
ARCHIE: You think talkin’ smooth makes ya smart? You’re just another big shot scarin’ people with your money!
KINGPIN: I don’t scare people, Mr. Bunker. I own them.
ARCHIE: Yeah, well, you don’t own me, pal! I ain’t afraid of some big bald guy in a soup suit!
KINGPIN: Your candor is really something. But it doesn’t fix bumpers.
ARCHIE: Oh, I’ll fix your (He never finishes. Kingpin’s hand grips Archie’s shoulder, like a vice. Archie winces, still trying to talk tough. Kingpin releases him. He smooths his cuff.)
KINGPIN: Take care of yourself, Mr. Bunker. Accidents have a way of finding people who don’t learn from the first one. (Archie looks down, realizes the Kingpin left a business card: “Wilson Fisk, Consultant.”)
ARCHIE: Yeah. Consultant my ass... probably sells fear door-to-door encyclopedias
(He gets in his car. It stalls immediately).

So, as we were watching the episode tonight, we noticed that while Archie was arguing with Father Majeski, that there was a blue aura type thing over Archie. Has anyone else noticed it or if it’s just the streaming service we use (FRNDLY)?

When Archie found out the possible name for his yet to be born grandson.
