This was the episode where they ran away, and stayed with Rueben.. He tried to trick them with the card game, but they ended up causing him to lose.

Why they didn't get featured much: the producers owed a lot of money to Chris and Tracy in blackjack. As revenge, the producers took it out on Chris and Tracy, barely writing anything for them. :D

Ironically, in an interview Suzanne mentioned how once at a promotional tour at K Mart , signing 5,000 autographs for hours. I think it was in 2000, marking the 30th anniversary. She later stated,"Someone made a lot of money". I miss Kmart and Sears. She sounded like the paltry pay soured her on the business. Who can blame her. Has anyone watched her short lived series post PF, "Mulligan's Stew"?

Yes, I recall watching a couple of episodes of that. Miss Crough played the Mulligan's teen niece called 'Stevie' who was a bit of a tomboy (and the kind of role that one would have expected Jodie Foster to have played at that time). She and her thee sibs had been raised by laidback semi-hippy parents who had died so the four of them were taken in by the more conservative Mulligans and all of them were having to live in a rather small house. Oh, and her youngest sib had been a Vietnamese orphan that her parents had adopted so that girl had lost TWO sets of parents already (and remember this was in 1977 just two years after the Fall of Saigon).

Despite the fact that 'Father Knows Best' and 'Andy Griffith' regular Elinor Donahue played Mrs. Mulligan, Lawrence Pressman played Mr. Mulligan and future 'FOL' Lost Girl Julie-Anne Haddock played their daughter (and Miss Crough played their niece), this somewhat dramatic comedy got cancelled due to poor ratings after just six episodes .

They doomed it to a DOA existence sending Mulligan to the wolves against M*A*S*H/One Day at a Time on CBS and Three's Company/Soap on ABC. :crazy: Mondays at 9:00 with Little House on the Prairie as a lead-in would have given Mulligan's Stew a better shot (with a midseason premiere in January to not be against Monday Night Football).
