Is This the Little Boy We Carried

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 28 March 2023]

When Larry and the boys decide to become fathers, they go to an adoption agency. They intimidate the lady there. The next thing they are coming into the Stratford with cigars in their mouths. Dick is stunned. It turns out a handsome seventeen year old who has no family is now theirs. He will become of legal age in a month so they have to move fast to teach him everything. Of course, the kid is bright and incredibly kind, so he goes along with their wishes, including eating porcupine. There are some wonderful scenes at the Minuteman. In another plot line, Michael has got the station to make announcements of things to come on the news. Like the President is dead!" It turns out they are talking about Calvin Coolidge. It's funny bit where George stays up late to see what will transpire.

Larry, Darryl and Darryl want to be parents

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 4 June 2018]

Larry and the Darryls decide to adopt a child.

A very funny episode for the brothers as the adoption agency gives them a 17 year old boy named Ted who will be a legal adult in one month. They decide to cram in a lifetime worth of parenting into that time. Funny moments as they feed Ted porcupine and accompany him on his first date. Ted decides to run away from home, but things work out in the end. An equally funny subplot has Michael using "teasers" to get people to watch the news at his TV station. The teasers are dishonest and misleading but George falls for them every time.
