synopsis
Mike's let-it-all-hang-out liberalism is again put to the test when Gloria agrees to pose in the nude for the Stivics' artist friend Szabo Daborba (a pre-Starsky and Hutch David Soul). Naturally, Archie is outraged that Gloria would be willing to appear in the altogether in front of a stranger, but Mike appears to be taking his wife's artistic expression in stride. Before long, however, those all-important "second thoughts" begin gnawing away at Mike's psyche. Written by Michael Ross, Bernie West, and Norman Lear, "Gloria Poses in the Nude" first aired on September 25, 1971.
