Benson has the distinction of being the first TV series to reference the Internet on an American network television.[citation needed] This occurred on the episode airing February 22, 1985 ("Scenario", season 6 episode 20)—in the episode, the characters were accessing the ARPANET, the progenitor of the Internet.

I never liked this show. Benson was a snobby prick.

Funny you should mention this. I was just watching the episode of All In The Family on YouTube called "Chain Letter", and Robert Guillaume played a doctor who put Archie in his place:
