synopsis
While moonlighting as a cabbie, Archie is mugged. Reporting the crime to a cop named Garsky (Frank Campanella), Archie lets slip that he fended off the mugger with a concealed tear-gas pen. As a result, it is Archie who ends up being arrested for carrying an illegal weapon. Best line: "You ain't over-bright, are ya?" Paulene Myers appears as Judge Mackenzie, while future Trapper John MD regular Charles Siebert is cast as Mr. Sloan. Written by Larry Rhine and Mel Tokin, "Archie's Civil Rights" first aired on December 1, 1975.
