This episode aired on my 10th birthday! I remember watching this show way back then! I have to thank my sister for the fact that I got to see this show when it was originally on back in '84-'85 because she LOVED Jason Bateman when he was on Silver Spoons so when she found out he was getting his own show she made the whole family watch it! We LOVED it (I hated his sister!) We were mad when it got canceled.
This was a classic! Too bad it was only on for one season...but maybe it's just as well. If it had limped along for three or four mediocre seasons we wouldn't remember it as fondly (think "Moonlighting"...great show, ruined by bickering amongst cast members...its finale was the same night as "Family Ties." Nobody cared about "Moonlighting" at that point, while all the nostalgia and fond farewells went to FT).
Oh how I love thee and your VCR with auto-tracking and 3 recording speeds and how much more I love you for recording in SLP. You are a retro gem and do not let yourself forget that.
Jason Bateman...so adorable.

@tramberly It was his smile. And he still has it today. It's so big and wide and sincere. At least to me that is what it was. :)
