Grampy To The Rescue, 9 April 2007
8/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

Bette is in the kitchen, very pleased with the way her pancakes have come out. Suddenly, the doorbell. "Oooh," shrieks Betty, "I wonder who that could be? It's too late for the garbage man."

It's her "friend" Irving, who plays one practical joke on her after, laughing hysterically while Betty gets shocked, squirted and scared and surprised. Finally, she snaps and goes upstairs to tell "Grampy." (I thought he lived in his own house?)

Anyway, she tells the old man how that idiot downstairs is annoying her when she's trying to bake. Grampy tells her to "send him to me." Grampy then puts on his thinking cap, waits until the light bulb goes how, and now knows how to handle "this practical joker."

How he does it is great. I just wish that part had been longer.
