Black Is the Color of My True Love's Wig: All in the Family (TV Episode)

Plot

Donning a brunette wig, blonde-tressed Gloria is at first flattered and delighted when Mike is "turned on" by her new look. But her delight turns to dismay when she concludes that it is the wig, and not her, that so arouses Mike's libido. This episode poses a question previously unexplored in American television: Can it be possible for a husband to be unfaithful with his own wife? Written by Michael Ross and Bernie West, "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Wig" first aired on November 24, 1973. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
