In the Spirits
1st Aired Week of 2/21/87
Due to Vicki's mishandling of terms, Child Services Officer Mrs. Fernwald thinks
Ted is an alcoholic and threatens to take Vicki away unless he joins AA.
The AA scene is as vintage as the jokes. Notable is Kip King's portrayal
of a recovering lush. This episode was a coy toe-dip into adult comedy and
was a promising but frustrated veer from the juvenile track. It's legacy are
the subtle adult and blue jokes that pepper many episodes thereafter.
