This was a great show for kids. I remember watching this show as I was growing up. I loved them all. Chip with all his brilliant ideas! I liked him even more because I am near sighted and started wearing glasses when I was about his age. To me glasses were a sign of intelligence. I do not think that has been proved but it made feel better when kids called me "four eyes." Oh, well! One was the older son, more mature. I remember him going on dates. Dad was a very understanding man.
One of my favorite episodes, I do not know how I can remember this! it has been so long, was when the middle kid decided that Uncle Bud's birthday was coming up and he needed to give him something. Bud has corresponding with some lady that he never met but she was coming to visit. Bud suddenly became concerned with his baldness and whether or not the woman would be impressed with him or not. He started using everything he could find to see if he could grow some hair. In the mean time the kid ordered hair piece for Bud through a catalogue. He had a hard time deciding on the color and invested all his all his funds on it. And was also helping Bud with his hair problem. One day while Bud was napping on the sofa the kid decided to put some bacon fat on Bud's head. The fluffy dog smelled the bacon and comes to lick Bud's head. As this point Bud wakes up and goes: "Sure smells like bacon in here!" I was rolling. When the hair piece arrived and Bud tried on, he hated it. Bud did not want to offend the kid. The dilemma was how to tell kid that he did not feel like himself with the hair piece on. I just loved that show which won the 1962 best television series Golden Globe Award.
