The further we go back in Hollywood history,
the more that fact and legend become intertwined.
It's hard to say where the truth really lies.

Archie
also is stunned, and comes upstairs. Archie cannot believe that Edith would
hide that from him, and questions her love for him. After Edith reassures him,
Archie tells her he wants to be told next time when she is not feeling well,
then admits he loves her very much and that without her, he has nothing.
To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".
April 8, 1979
The last episode of All In The Family aired.
Archie
enlists Edith to help cook corned beef and cabbage for a St. Patrick's Day
festival at Archie's Place. What Archie does not know is that Edith has come
down with an acute case of phlebitis, and that she was told to stay off her
feet. Edith does not want to tell Archie, afraid she will let him down.
Finally, Edith's phlebitis catches up with her, and she tells Archie she cannot
walk, and to call Dr. Shapiro.
Initially,
Dr. Sidney Shapiro, Dr. Seymour Shapiro's son, who arrives at the Bunker home
(to the chagrin of Archie, who thought that his dad would make the house call,
as the two have never gotten along from Sidney's childhood), is angry at Archie
for apparently forcing Edith to work, but when he sees Archie did not know
about the illness, he has a crisis of conscience, as he then apologizes for
yelling at him, as Archie responds, "Just don't play baseball on
my stoop anymore!"
