They're all great. No one mentioned Beverly LaSalle's murder yet. Classic.
That's because no one gives a **** about drag queens as it should be.
I cheer for his murder and whoever killed him is a hero.
I really dunno why Edith would befriend a freak like that and then mourn it's death.
That is so out of character for her.

There weren't that many, actually.
The season one episode.
Edith thinks she has breast cancer.
The Draft Dodger.
Season nine had a bunch:
The counterfeit bills, and the three-part "California" episodes (part one had Edith buying the plane tickets, and two and three - that were actually one hour-long episode originally - at the Stivics'). -

I think I have mentioned this before but I always thought that it was strange that there weren't any Christmas decorations during the birth of Joey of 1975 season. Whether it was at the Bunker home, restaurant, or lodge. Christmas wasn't mentioned period by
anyone -

That was pretty cool at the time. Two hours would've been even better, though. I think that was right before the Jeffersons "moved on up".
As for there being no sign of Christmas when the kid was born, possibly that episode (or episodes) were supposed to happen sooner, so no Christmas decorations were indicated in the script.
At the start of the season, Struthers went on strike for the first four episodes, so they had to shoot scripts out of order to accommodate that (possibly the Beverly LaSalle one and the Bunkers' battle over Edith's Sunshine Home job were supposed to be taped after the birth. Also, Reiner took a week off to guest star on a "Rockford Files" episode, moving Archie's appearance in court ahead of schedule). -

I didn't know about any of that behind-the-scenes stuff until decades after the episodes were shown.
Considering Gloria was flat-stomached on the episode where she announced her pregnancy, I figured it was just a story idea. Usually the gals are already ballooned-up when the audience is told.
Quite the miscalculation on Struthers' part, thinking she had the producers by the balls with the pregnancy arc.
