The WTF Episode of 'Bachelor Father'


I'm in the process of writing about classic television series and I've written a piece about what I consider to be the strangest of episodes from this one. I invite you to have a look at it, here:

That was a fun read, thanks.

But really, this show seems pretty bizarre by today's standards, regardless of plot. "I work hard all day and I expect a hot, hearty meal ready when I get home!"

What's better these days? Not much.

"I work hard all day and I expect a hot, hearty meal ready when I get home!"

Oddly enough, I just watched the episode which features this quote today. It's the one where the father, daughter and Peter agree that whoever loses their temper first has to wash the dog. Of course, they all eventually lose their temper and the dog gets washed three times. The bizarre thing was how roughly each cast member treated the dog. They all grabbed him by the collar and angrily dragged him off to be washed.

Odder still, my quote was from the episode where Kelly tries to learn cooking!

There's also the censored series finale, "Bentley Does Kelly," seen only in West Virginia and Alabama.

Are you sure that wasn't on an episode of "Boardwald Empire"?
