I love how he constantly refers to her as "Granny"and she doesn't correct him. A lot of actors are offended when you refer to them by their "character name" rather than their real name when they're not performing.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

When I watch these older shows I am struck with amazement at how polite, and classy everyone acts, A stark difference in comparison to the way people are nowadays. The one word that comes to mind is "respect". Respect for others and yourself, which is sorely lacking in todays society.

[@larrywakeman4371]

YES, SO TRUE, today's idiot lib young intermixed people should WATCH these old shows of this era and SEE what ETIQUETTE and RESPECT and PROPER ENGLISH IS... my mother always said, that when you let these minor*** people get more and more leeway, THAT leads to the degradation of etiquette and proper manners-- SO TRUE. Look at ANY movie from the 30's to the early 80's: total CLASS and etiquette. NOW: girls and women look like TRASH. Another thing is the disgusting: clinging maternity clothing UGH, how disgusting. WHAT HAPPENED to beautiful FLOWING maternity clothing like Elizabeth Montgomery wore? Lucille Ball? Princess Grace? Now it is show and tell and GROSS looking, to be honest...and I am a woman and I htink it is very unflattering and down right ugly!

PashasMom Meezerlover Yes, Williams did do five episodes, but he was slated as the replacement for Pernell Roberts. Then Roberts came back reluctantly so Williams was given the wife leading to his exit. This came reportedly after someone in the cast convinced the remaining stars that Williams would intrude on their lines and possibly their thunder. That is why I stated how Williams was jobbed out of a part in a hit series and millions of dollars.
