synopsis
Given an attractive pantsuit by Gloria, Edith would like to show off her new outfit in public. Alas, Archie is his usual stick-in-the-mud self, and refuses to take Edith out. Undaunted, Edith decides to have a good time on her own, and takes her first step toward that goal by heading down to Kelcey's Bar. Jason Wingreen makes his first appearance as Harry the bartender, a role he'd carry over to the spin-off series Archie Bunker's Place. Written by Lou Derman, Douglas Aragno, and Phil Doran, "Edith's Night Out" originally aired on March 8, 1976, as the final episode of All in the Family's sixth season.
