Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Unable to pay Grandma's hospital bill, John (Ralph Waite) is forced to take a government job in Charlottesville. Not only does John have trouble adjusting to his new boss (Donald Moffat), a strict rules-are-rules taskmaster, but he also feels guilty over the fact that he has been hired merely to force another employee to retire before collecting his pension. And back at home, Olivia (Michael Learned worries that Grandpa (Will Geer) is turning Elizabeth (Kami Cotler) into a tomboy.
