Jenny's grandfathers are both opposed to the Willis' marriage. The actors playing the grandfathers were interesting choices. Fred Pinkard once played a mailman on the Brady Bunch, and Leon Ames appeared on Mr. Ed! They're both fine here, proving that even people with "class" can be prejudiced. This episode contains what is probably my favorite moment in the entire series. Her grandfathers' bickering finally makes Jenny cry. She almost made me cry. Berlinda might have even overacted a little here, but it was OK. She put her heart and soul into that scene. She forces the two old fools to see her as human being with a heart-and not simply as the product of a marriage they disapprove of. Great episode, thanks especially to Berlinda Tolbert, and despite having that "other guy" playing Lionel.
