Gee Our Old LaSalle Ran Great — Episode 10: Archie is Worried About His Job
It’s late night in the Bunker household, and Archie can’t sleep for a very good reason: layoffs are looming down at the dock.
In this episode, hosts Paul and Rick dive into this standout installment, "Archie is Worried About His Job." We break down why Carroll O’Connor is an absolute masterclass in solo comedic acting as he putters around the downstairs rooms in the middle of the night. Plus, classic TV royalty makes his debut as the great Burt Mustin turns up for the very first time as Feeney!
Between unexpected knocks, midnight prowlers, and visitors wandering in and out at all hours, Paul draws a fantastic comparison to the frantic farce of Arsenic and Old Lace. Grab a cold one from the icebox and settle in as we revisit one of the series' finest half-hours.
In this episode, we discuss:

• Carroll O’Connor’s tour-de-force performance carrying scenes entirely by himself
• Burt Mustin’s pitch-perfect debut as Feeney
• Midnight visitors, escalating chaos, and the undeniable Arsenic and Old Lace vibe
• Archie’s very real blue-collar economic anxieties—and why the episode still resonates today
