Do growing boys need a father figure?
The theme of this story centers around Father-Son night at Schneider's Lodge,
Schneider and Alex's affection for each other, and disappointment over broken promises. It first aired in the early 1980s when the long-held assumption that
adolescent boys needed a father image was being challenged by some feminists
whose belief was that children could be raised successfully by single mothers.
(Other episodes in this series deal with similar issues.) So as not to need a Spoiler Alert, let's just say that the opinion that boys needed father figures was asserted and also was challenged.
