"E.D.W.A.R.D." very funny line delivery. And I love: "Ulysses David if it's a boy, Ulyssesa Davida if it's a girl THAT'S IT"! Hysterical performance! This show was awesome!
Back in the 60s when I first watched this show, I didn't like Richie at all. I thought he was pretty stupid. I was only a kid myself so I guess I judged him pretty harshly. I've warmed to him since then, but he does tend to be a bit monotone with his line delivery and I'm always aware he is reciting his lines. But he is a kid......
The families are only arguing over boys names. They seemed to be fine with Richard, or Ritchie, as a first name. This is a sweet episode, featuring many rarely seen relatives.
I watched this show in syndication/reruns in the mid-60s. It was really funny then and really funny now. I remembered most of the name suggestions. Great show. Oh--and in memory I confused Sam Petrie's actor J. Pat O'Malley with Jesse White!
Unfortunately, I have a middle name problem too. It has plagued me all my life. I’ve always tried to keep it hidden but now, with the computer age, it is spelt all over the place! I’m trying to get used to it but it’s hard stuff. I sympathize with poor Ritchie!
There hasn’t been worthwhile content for decades. It all started when the executives decided to politicize content and decided that viewers are stupid enough to not see the agenda they have been pushing for at least 40yrs (just thinking of a few sitcoms from the 80s). The 90s saw the push for literally stealing British topics (Friends, DIY, What Not To Wear etc, all came from across the pond). I used to watch some of the latter on A&E, and other networks I can’t remember.

Sally’s feminine intuition let her know why Laura was so eager to see Rob. A man, like Buddy, wouldn’t have a clue. Me neither. Women are much more adept at interpreting behavior in social situations than men. It was clever to write that into the script as it rings true in real life. Men are better at assessing degrees of danger or threats. Male and female traits are complementary for survival. Then there’s Buddy.
Imagine how shocked and embarrassed---not to mentioned downright appalled!!---the makers of this episode must have been when it became known what Citizen Kane's "Rosebud" was REALLY inspired by!
He is left handed. In the dining room scene due to the scene set up he would have been standing in front of the blackboard had he used his left hand. I am left handed and most of us are ambidextrous enough to write block letter capitals as he did here. When it came to erase, he reverted to his left hand. Later, in the kitchen, at 25 :28 he uses his left hand again as the scene set up allowed for it. He writes much faster and is clearly more at ease. The tell-tale sign that he was writing with his non-dominant hand was that his 's' (as in Sam) was almost sideways and some of his letters like 'N' he paused half way, then finished it off in a reverse stroke. Many lefties (including me) can write forwards and backwards.
😅😂 Female Rabbits were used as a pregnancy test a very long time ago. Unfortunately it caused the demise of the rabbit. The saying THE RABBIT DIED is a euphemism for saying a woman is pregnant now.
Yes they used rabbits for that. It goes back a long time ago. Brush up on your history. This is why so many people don't understand the past. They would rather throw a fit about things like that than check history.
Rosebud was the name of Charles Foster Kane's..................sled, in the film Citizen Kane. Not so loosely based on the life of real newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.
I don’t get how they used to say that to announce a pregnancy. I realize the taboos of another era but it doesn’t make any sense, especially in the beginning of the Feminist Era. We can think of all the reasons why they have content to dismiss the era, but it didn’t stop Feminism.
@@marinazagrai1623 I'm not sure what all the rest of your post was about, but they said it because they killed the rabbit to determine if the woman was pregnant. Thank goodness we have other pregnancy tests now and don't need to kill rabbits any more.
Those parents and grandpa were a bunch of flakes with their egos screaming "Feed me, feed me." Rob should have shown some backbone and said; "Look folks, the kid's name is gonna be Clyde or Bonnie so clam up and deal with it."
"Well, the rabbit died!" I'm 51 y/o, and that's the first time I've heard that expression. Now I know it's from an early pregnancy test method. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_test
The misconception The term "the rabbit died" became a common euphemism for a positive pregnancy test result, based on the misconception that the rabbit would only die if the test was positive. In reality, all rabbits used for the test died, regardless of the result. The Wheat 🌾 Grew Does peeing on wheat work as a pregnancy test? A woman urinated daily on wheat or barley seeds and if the plants grew, it meant she was pregnant. Modern-day validation suggests that test was about 70% accurate in detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by a woman's body soon after implantation of a fertilized egg inside the uterus.

Richie is perfect at the end. His childhood honesty hasn't been tampered by adulthood and it is just the best.
E D W A R D! I love the lunacy that ensues when the parents all get together. Wish they’d made more of the parents episodes .
As Ritchie would say, "It's MY kid and I like RAT!"
This episode is one of my very top favorites!
A simple story yet very funny! Something lacking in today's shows-- situations that are not so overly dramatic. This show did great on family comedy.
E D W A R D!! 😂😂 I love the lunacy that ensues when the parents all get together. Wish they’d made more of the parents episodes .
This was one of the best, most clever episodes ever.
I remember watching it. Rosebud!

Hard to say which is Best episode but THIS is really up there!!!
This one was cleverly written. 🤣
We may not have gotten ‘Mickey Rat’ but we got ‘Mickey Mouse’ 😂
My childhood memories just wonderful
That makes two of us, my fellow Boomer.

Four of us. --Another boomer. 😊
Apparently, coffee mugs didn't exist in the early 1960s. Also, Laura's hairstyle and wardrobe never changed for any of the mid-1950s flashbacks.
Richie was a very good actor!!

The name Richie was chosen by the producers after Mary Tyler Moore's real son Richard.

You could tell early on that Laura was the tough parent, and Rob was the softie.

Killing a rabbit just for sport.

It wasn't for sport. It was for medical science. Medicine wasn't as advanced back then as it is today.
