Recap / All In The Family S 5 E 10 The Longest Kiss

Tropes associated with this episode:

• The Big Damn Kiss: Exactly what the episode title bears out ... now can Mike and Gloria hold it long enough for Archie to come home.
• Story Arc: The third and final part of a three-week story arc about the time Archie went to a convention ... and lost contact with his family.
• Written-In Absence: For much of the first half of the show, until he makes his entrance. This, due to Carroll O'Connor walking off the set late in the summer of 1974 after a dispute with Norman Lear over his salary.
