Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Petries' prankish neighbor Jerry Helper (Jerry Paris) takes great delight in telling anyone who will listen that Rob's most recent script for "The Alan Brady Show" is, in his humble opinion, terrible. The angrier Rob (Dick Van Dyke) gets and the more Millie Helper (Ann Morgan Guilbert) tells her husband to shut up and drop the subject, the more Jerry persists in insulting the script, at one point, even hiring a singing telegram service to deliver a musical message about how rotten the show is! Ultimately, the joke goes too far, and Jerry ends up with a punch in the nose -- but from whom?
