Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Veteran character actor Paul Fix (remember "Sheriff Micah" on The Rifleman?) guest stars as Ted Patterson, the grandfather of Buffy (Anissa Jones), Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) and Cissy (Kathy Garver). Returning from a five-year sojourn in Alaska, Grandpa Ted assumes that the children will treat him with the respect and deference worthy of his years. Unfortunately, the kids can barely remember Grandpa and aren't very comfortable around him--and Grandpa is just as uncomfortable with the ever-widening "generation gap" of the early 1970s.
