Homeless Causes
1st Aired Week of 10/11/86
Joan's civic project with the homeless prompts Jamie to bring home a bum, who
virtually takes over the Lawson household.
A whole generation has gone by that's missed Brooks' infamous portrayal as the world's most dapper lush. Though he's amusing as a worldly bum-about-town and Bum-Who-Came-To-Dinner, it would seem that profiling the strife of a homeless family would've been more apropos this serious social premise, and the pity is there were many such scripts.
Notable scene: Vicki's ominous microsensor analysis inside a dark alley where
the parents try to jar Jamie out of homeless adventure fantasies.
