Archie's deadbeat cousin Oscar is staying with the Bunkers, eating Archie out of house and home.
A funny episode with dark humor about death and funerals. It begins with the family complaining about Oscar. Archie in particular can't stand him since when they were children he would knock Archie down and sit on his face. We never see Oscar, he is only described as an obnoxious freeloader with red hair, big earlobes and warts. There is a funny scene where Mike comes down after checking on him and tells Archie that Oscar is dead. This is followed by a funny sequence when Archie is forced to plan a funeral. A hysterical relative cousin Bertha (Peggy Rea) shows up sobbing but Archie doesn't even recognize her. Whitehead the funeral director pushes some expensive caskets but Archie wants dirt cheap. Mike explains that he can have the cousin put in Potter's field for nothing. Archie likes the idea and thanks Mike, one of the few times we see the two getting along with each other. Watch the episode to see what happens.
