I agree with cee cee: I think the BB is one of the most pure, innocent, and best series. Again, probably more like those of the 50s, but in a more modern setting, addressing some of the issues of those times, still relevant today. I'm from the BB generation, I can identify with the characters and situations, and have always loved the family as if they were cousins or something. I have the complete series on DVD and probably know most of the dialog... Perhaps like all true fans, most of the time I can anticipate what the next line is! What prompted me to look up this episode today was the 'pot roast' thing. I wanted to know if anyone else noticed just how quickly that roast burned. Honestly, I swear it was more like a total of 3 minutes from 'almost done' to BLACK! Furthermore, I believe pot roasts are cooked on a stove top. Aren't roasts 'roasted' in the oven referred to as 'Oven Roasts'? Maybe I'm wrong, but I took notice of course when I was again reminded at how quickly the roast burned and again heard Alice refer to it as a 'pot roast'.
