Food For Thought Amid The Chuckles
dougdoepke7 February 2022
This is not among the funniest of the series entries but it does manage moments of humor, along with a thoughtful premise. Fronk's a genial Latino-American who still has problems understanding English. But his real problem is he wants to beautify the world with plants and flowers regardless of what money and the law demand of him. In short, his devotion to beautiful surroundings overwhelms a happy life in America where money-making routines and obeying the law are paramount.

This sounds pretty glum, but the acting and script much lighten the load, as the Anderson's try to help Fronk adjust. Still, there's something appealing about his devotion to beauty above all else. So how then to maybe blend the two in our current way of life, such that each gets its due. Anyway, see what you think amid the chuckles.

Frank Returns
Jimmy_the_Gent49 December 2021
Frank, the Andersons former gardener, visits the family to tell them he is getting a job with the city.

Just an OK episode, not one of the best. Frank is an amusing character. Jim gets him out of trouble again as he acts as his sponsor when Frank owes money. A judge arranges for him to take a civil service test. Betty and Margaret try to help him study.
