I'm surprised as I write this, but it also appears this was Sherman Hemsley's first acting gig, to go along with the introduction of Archie Bunker's nemesis George Jefferson. Although still a good episode, I wouldn't call this one of the better entries for this great show, and the funniest moments occur when George steps into the Bunker household for the first time, but otherwise, this was more of the usual black and white stereotypes that Archie spews, as well as Henry Jefferson, played by Mel Stewart. The show revolves around Henry leaving town to go work elsewhere, and much to Archie's chagrin, the farewell party ends up at the Bunkers' house. Mike does the usual liberal rants against Archie's biases, while Gloria complains to Henry that women were actually more kept down by the man than blacks were, and poor Edith just nods and agrees with everybody as usual. A big reason I enjoy this show so much is many scenes are of a serious nature, and the actors shine when given the opportunity. Towards the end of this episode, George and Henry(brothers)salute each other with a toast in a serious moment, with George wishing his brother good luck and telling him how happy he is to have him as a brother, and this is where Hemsley shines; soon after, George complains to Archie that the party was held in a honky house, and George leaves in a funny exit. Most of the episodes are solid, even this had solid aspects, but other than the final scenes, there's isn't the usual memorable moment that caught my attention.
