Mike could be working instead of protesting
Mike's not a layed back guy. Again he ruins a day off for Archie. He's not shy about voicing his liberal views where he pays no rent. Classic scene with Archie in jail with his worst nightmares.
Archie meets some fellow citizens
For me, this remains one of the funniest episodes of the series, especially during Archie's interactions with the various demonstrators. I don't want to give away some of the most hilarious lines, but the dialog following Archie's use of an inhaler for allergies still cracks me up after having seen it dozens of times over the decades. The scene also is an interesting time capsule, in that it gives a pretty thorough overview of the various types of demonstrators at the time, exactly as I remember them: the blissed-out hippie, the political activist, the Jesus freak, the Black pride advocate, the mellow Black dude, the radical, etc. -- it was a mixed bag back then!

- TriviaAllan Melvin makes his first appearance in the series as Sgt. Pulaski, but will soon return in season two as recurring character, Barney Hefner.
- Goofs"All in the Family" shot each show twice consecutively, and often took the best scenes and shots from each to make one full show. Here, in the jail scene, Archie's shirt keeps changing (top button open/closed/open/closed), and the U.S. flag on his jacket keeps changing (small/large/small/large) due to using footage from both shoots, where O'Connor wore slightly different wardrobe for each taping.

Sgt. Paul Pulaski: Big, dumb what?
Archie Bunker: [Smiling for emphasis] Pollack.
Mike Stivic: Say it louder, Arch, Sgt. Pulaski didn't hear you.
