"Shoe bootie" episode with Mike and Arhcie locked in the cellar which went a long way to explaining why Archie was the way he was. I found a summary elsewhere:
Maybe the most memorable episode was the one where he got accidentally locked in the bar storeroom with Meathead Mike, and they both got drunk and he began telling that poignant story about how when he was a kid he was so poor he had to go to school wearing one boot and one shoe, and the other kids called him "Shoe-bootie." And how Mike began to see the roots
of his bigotry...how he'd learned it at his father's knee...he didn't think think his father who loved him could ever be wrong, so when he
called people of other races names, Archie thought it was OK.
