One of the better sixth season episodes, biggest laughs are when Archie cannot get his dinner or beer since Edith is not home. She says that her volunteer work is bringing hope to the hopeless and cheer to the cheerless. Archie says "How about a little beer for the beerless?" Edith had stood up to Archie in earlier (and better) episodes like "Archie And Edith Alone" and "All's Fair", Edith is a bit more angry and shrill than before. While not as good as earlier seasons, this is better than most of episodes that will follow.
