The Family Car

[studioAT · 8/10 · 30 May 2020]

Kevin's Dad just can't seem to bring himself to get rid of the family car, in another really sweet episode of this much loved show, that fleshes out the father character a little more.

The 3rd year has seen the show vary the types of stories it is telling a little more, and this is a positive example.

1968 Dodge on its last legs in '69!

I think that the script writers need to to a little fact checking. Their '68 Dodge is a pile and only a year old and the Arnolds need a new one. They advertise it as a '63 and indicate that it is 9 years old in 1969! But other than that, it is a fine episode, typifying what most practical dads went through in keeping an old car running and then dealing with a fast talking car salesman.
