Serious issue

This is an example of the serious issues the show deals with. It was ahead of the Times compared to the other sitcoms of its day. Another serious issue is that Im sure a lot of viewers would like to know the name of the actress who makes a brief appearance near the end.

"The Persistent Guest"

This episode, "The Persistent Guest" was to me one of the best of the second season. It is a situation where many of us have encountered at some time in our life. The experience we may have had may not be the exact experience this particular episode gives us, but needless to say in the same ball field. Again, the actors they chose for the roles played them very very well. The sensitivity that was portrayed by everyone made you want everything to work out well. The close up shots of the facial expressions added feeling to the episode. If we could have television series today where we can learn more about understanding, giving and loving we would all benefit so much.
