Last September, CHCH TV in Hamilton began offering the show at 10:30 am as part of its daytime retro lineup and I've watched it regularly ever since. I would like to add my favorite episodes as well starting with Season 5 since Season 4 was run out of order. This is how I would rank my favorites:

1. The Bob Hope Show

Danny fears that Bob Hope will overshadow his act when they both agree to appear on a TV special. Bob was always great when he would guest star on other series and the sketch he does with Danny on the TV special is very funny and highlights both of their characters.

2. Parents Are Pigeons

Rusty and Linda try to take advantage of their new step-parents. Their cleverly elaborate plan doesn't work as well as expected but it's fun to see them try.

3. Rusty The Bully

Danny tries to get Rusty to learn to defend himself with help from former heavyweight champion Max Baer Sr. (Jethro's Dad!). He ends up getting an unexpected and painful boxing lesson of his own in what I consider to be the funniest scene in the entire series.

4. Terry vs Kathy

Terry tries to prevent Kathy from running the house which she believes is still her territory. The battle eventually gets out of hand and gets funnier as the two women get more into their roles.

5. Terry's Crush

Terry develops a major crush on Dean Martin which catches Dean completely by surprise. I love the way he tries to humor her and play along with it until he realizes that it's not a gag.
