All in the Family episode "Too Good Edith" as aired on April 9, 1979In the series final episode, Archie is so busy prepping for a big St. Patricks Day party at the bar that he doesn't realize Edith is really sick. She's suffering from phlebitis and needs to stay off her feet. Instead, due to Archie's insistance (and ignorance) she pushes herself by cooking all the food for his big St. Patty's Day party, nearly crippling herself in the process. The final moments in this episode are very touching and perfectly illustrate the relationship that existed underneath between these two classic television characters.The show would be retooled and return in the Fall of 1979 as "Archie Bunkers Place" with Jean Stapleton making a handful of appearances in that following season.
