"It's a kick in the head, ain't it?"

Observations:

George's mother's general unpleasantness makes her kind of the female/city equal of Albert from The Color Purple's dad (Adolph Ceasar). Wonder if Wheezy ever spit in her water? You know Florence did.

Archie & George's toast, "Here's to yesterday" was funny in 1974. Part of why this episode, and these shows in general, were so great was the belief that change was in the air. It was thought that once we younger folks (I was 15 in 74) grew up, race relations would be better. We'd all be used to being around each other and see that we were all really just people. What the hell happened to that?
