Academy Award winners to the

unforgettable favorites

Tony barber no matter where you live in

Australia when it comes to carpet

specialists and in every Solomon store

you'll find friendly expert service a

huge range of the finest carpets and all

that surprisingly low prices remember no

buttonholes shut how come you're

cleaning now Molly have you forgotten my

parents come in tomorrow night

who could forget your parents oh honey

they mean well they just have their idea

of what the perfect American family

should be and they've decided where it

god forbid there should be one speck of

dust in the living area I remember last

time your parents visited the first

thing your mother did was check the

doorknobs for fingerprints mothers who

do that with a magnifying glass

well well what don't you like my new

dress honey I'm sorry you you look

this dinner tonight I haven't been

thinking of anything else oh it's gonna

be just fine mr. Donatelli likes you

yeah I'm about to sign a new client it's

gonna be a little anxious for me at the

office but we know one well people might

think I have some sort of edge if my

husband represents the boss honey trust

me this is gonna be great for both of us

the last time I heard that was on our

honeymoon and I wound up with my arm in

a sling remember just hang on until we

get to Grandma's let's go I think that

was the best prime rib I've ever had

Wally but picking up the tab for my son

and me was totally unnecessary great now

wine was excellent mrs. cleaver oh it

was the house wine coming Mary Ellen

I think I feel uncomfortable having

someone wait on me since what really is

a lovely home you have Mary Ellen thank

you I admire your energy pursuing a

career taking care of a family well

sometimes it's not easy weed out a lot

well I bet you're a wonderful cook - you

know my father just can't say enough

nice things about you really what does

he say well it uses words like energetic

talented bright funny he says all those

things Oh most of them

you are

sweet of you to notice

game yeah it's from the restaurant I

age are so anyway we're we're down by

steps forward and I let flop coffee's on

he's taller than you are

maybe a little he gave me his mint oh

not as mint honey I know what this is

all about I've been so preoccupied with

mr. Donatelli I've been neglecting you

me jealous are you saying that you don't

believe Todd could find me attractive no

see how someone his age could be

attracted to someone my age well I

didn't say that wait a minute what are

that affects women who have visits from

their parents your column is the bride's

part of my day I just came by to tell

you how much I enjoyed meeting Wiley

he's quite a guy

thank you I think so too you know my son

Todd took quite a liking to both of you

really oh yeah he couldn't stop talking

about you he's got this brand-new idea

for a column and I thought you'd be the

best one to show him the ropes oh gee

mr. Donatelli I know it was Todd's idea

he said that he's dying to work under

you morning you're actually you're not

late for what oh I'm anxious to get

started

oh I'll leave you two alone Todd I'm

confident you'll be in good hands he's

right there perfect Todd what I do here

teacher I always enjoy a casual affair

how about you Mary Ellen

just the right brand to buy it's a rare

quality and a woman guess I'm just lucky

God certainly is a nice young man don't

you think well you me go get that

husband is always the last one to know

what grade are you in Kelly hey I'm a

lot older than I look you know this has

to be the best coffee that I am from

half Wow

thank you I just can't understand how

something like this could happen

your sister Irene was married four times

there's a bad gene floating around in

your family at my daughter corner she

likes to be complimented on her parents

so glad I got the opportunity to meet

your parents Mariel and there's such

wonderful people no he's gonna start

working on us guys pathetic

they gave her this tablecloth as a

wedding present this is such a lovely

tablecloth it's a family heirloom she's

very fond of her Aunt Emma well now that

I've gotten to meet your parents maybe

next time I could meet your Aunt Emma

she's dead

[Music]

I mean this is so embarrassing I guess

the guys just crazy in love with me this

is so cool wait until I tell Regina

Baxter she thinks removes the hottest

thing since brush denim don't you say a

word to anyone I've got to find a way

out of this mess well I read this book

once where this young guy was attracted

to this older married woman he was so

good-looking he could get any girl his

age but married women were a challenge

so you think if I were less of a

challenge Todd might lose interest seems

that way to me

I mean why else would our hunky guy like

him fall for a minute Sara Lee olden all

right all right I guess I just want to

finish this before lunch I'll see you

later

hi Todd hi yourself I know I've been a

little standoffish lately but I guess I

just haven't come to grips with my true

feelings until now oh you haven't it's

tired of my life I think it's time for a

change

what kind of change a change in husbands

of course Kevin and Kelly you would be

your responsibility and I wouldn't want

to work so your salary would have to be

providing for all of us but it's all

that responsibility in the face of true

love you're right

true love is the only important thing

[Music]

the truth I must admit I was flattered

at first and I should have just nipped

it in the bud but I was concerned that

while he wouldn't get mr. Donatelli's

account see you dare her jeans are fine

here your marriage is on the rocks

oh don't worry dad our marriage couldn't

be better I'm thinking clearly now and I

know what I have to do

he said what I'm gonna k*ll the little

creep I know honey this is my fault I'm

sorry if I hadn't been neglecting you

you wouldn't had to go through this

awful mess it was awful wasn't it oh of

course it was awful

but the worst part is what I have to do

now I'm gonna call mr. Donatelli and I'm

gonna tell him I'm quitting why would

you want to do that I don't want to

jeopardize your chance of getting me I

can't honey the account isn't the

important thing here besides I already

got the account mr. Donatelli told me

this afternoon now I can't wait to tell

Romeo to take a hike yeah well you won't

have to wait long I invited the

Donatelli's to the party you're giving

for your folks tonight

[Music]

look the only reason I did what I did

was because I wanted to scare you off

I'm a very happily married woman and I

wouldn't dream of being with any man but

my husband you'll change your mind you

just need a little more time I don't get

it how can adults be so boring it still

has such a great time I guess they're

just glad to be alive

[Music]

Wow I was just sitting at home waiting

for my husband to show up but he never

did

it's fate have you seen Eddie boy he

never even told me the cleavers were

having a party Eddie Haskell is your

husband yeah why don't you let me get

you a drink okay would you care for a

mint

looks like the little weasel just zoomed

in on a new target if he moves in on me

Decca motto is that there's no job too

large or too small for Haskell

construction so if I could interest you

in building a pool we already have a

pool just one who invited you you have a

very attractive wife you're kidding and

he was just telling me how busy his

construction company it's been lately

should consider myself lucky we don't
