Slow Boat to Baby
donnamariejones16 March 2024
This episode is dragged out. I'm not fond of the blackface end of the story. I think they could've possibly done Birth if the Baby in one episode. The second half is hysterical and very good. You're not missing iut on much if you dint see the first half. I think the guys from the lodge would've felt the same if it was one of them who's grandchild was coming. If i was Archie i would've said i don't care if you kick me out of the lodge. I don't know if a lodge would allow it's regular members to kick out somebody - wouldn't there be specific rules and officers of the lodge. But i did realize the 1st guy at Archie's is the president however again i think there's be specific rules and guidelines to follow.

Gloria goes into labor

Archie is forced to be in his lodge minstrel show despite his stage fright and Gloria tells Mike she is having the baby.

This is a mediocre episode despite it trying very hard to be funny. The beginning is a seemingly endless sequence of Archie's lodge brothers in black face trying to convince him to appear in their show. The rest of the show shows Mike and Gloria in a restaurant. A ridiculous line has Gloria saying she did not at first mention the contractions because she didn't want to spoil their evening (what pregnant woman would do that?)
