I think this series really improved with the demise of John Ritter, who never really achieved the 'funny man' persona. David Spade's drawling sarcasm isn't to everyone's taste, but the partnership between him and Jim (James Garner) produces many of the best moments in the latter episodes - anything to divert attention from the awful red headed child. This episode focuses nicely on the relationship between Cate (awful spelling!) and her dad. Interestingly, the band which accompanies Cate's Song features, on guitar, Jon Walmsley, who played Jason In The Waltons. Surely he should have had an acknowledgement in the cast list?
