The final three seasons of AITF are obviously not as great as the first 6, but that doesn't mean the show lacked for quality. You just had to search for the gems in seasons 7 through 9. This episode is a classic and includes an Archie/Meathead scene that even Rob Reiner once called the ultimate Archie to Meathead moment. Mike and Gloria are playing a game of Scrabble before bedtime, when Mike begins to talk condescendingly to her. This leads to a huge fight in the mold of their epic battle during the great Black is the Color of My True Love's Wig from season 4. Watching Archie and Meathead have another "my way" vs "your way" back and forth, this time about how Meathead gets into bed, is hysterical. The payoff is among the show's best. To top it off, it's Archie, of all people, who tells Mike why he was in the wrong. It's a nice twist that lays the groundwork for season 8's Two's a Crowd. Back at home, Mike and Gloria reconcile and save one final laugh for the fade out. This one is not to be missed.

Mike and Gloria fight...again
Jimmy_the_Gent410 April 2018
Mike has an argument with Gloria and winds up in the Bunkers house.

Mike and Gloria are playing Scrabble and argue about him talking down to her. This has happened in previous episodes like Mike's Friend where they fight about Mike being a college man and Gloria only a high school grad. This is a mostly mediocre episode but there are some laughs as Archie and Mike are forced to sleep in the same bed. This is reminiscent of funnier episodes like No Smoking.
