All in the Family- Edith's Birthday Party

Edith is confronted with a rapist and a life-threatening trauma on the eve of her surprise birthday party.

Re: The most memorable/popular/iconic episode of long-running TV sitcoms.

Yes, that was a good one.

I like how they used humor in the episode. When Edith is being attacked, she says "Stop! I'll give you money…Will you take a check?"

This exchange was funny too.

Edith Bunker:
[petrified] Wh-what are you doin'? You ain't taking off your clothes, are you?

Lambert:
Yeah. Then I'm going to take yours off.

Edith Bunker:
[squirming desperately to get away] W-wouldn't you like a cup of coffee instead?

Lambert:
[pushes her back down] I don't drink coffee.

Edith Bunker:
[desperately] I got Sanka!
