I can't find an episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm sure I have overlooked it, but I seem to remember an episode, but now that I have all five seasons (I picked up Season 5 today at Best Buy), I don't recall seeing it.

There was an episode where Rob was at an attorney's office to watch (instead of read) a will. During the video presentation of the will, the deceased has a bit of advice for van owners, and that is to "get off of the road. Nobody can see around you." (Wouldn't he love SUV's today?)

Anyway, I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The episode is # 133, "The Great Petrie Fortune." His great uncle Hezekiah leaves him a roll top desk and a riddle. I do not remember any advice to van owners, however. We'll have to watch the entire uncut episode to see.

I watched this episode today, "The Great Petrie Fortune," episode # 133. Hezekiah Petrie says nothing about van owners getting off the road. You must have this confused with an episode of another show. This episode is great! Rob does such a great job playing a 100+ year old man! (He says his Uncle Hezekiah was born in 1863 in Gettysburg, PA and the episode was filmed in 1965. That would make Uncle Hez 102 years old when he died.) Anyway, Burford, go back and watch. You will enjoy this episode.

Thanks Lolac! I did get to watch the episode, and it was a good one, but you are right, it's not the one I thought it was.

It's driving me crazy now. I'm not even sure what show it's from now. Hopefully one day it will hit me. Thanks for the help.
