How some things never change. This story is not to be confused with the season 1 episode -- 10 years ago! -- with the same title, all about Mike and his girlfriend possibly getting married. At the time, Chip and Robbie were just kids!
Chip is all grown up and agrees with Polly they should just forget everybody and everything and elope. Another poignant episode written by George Tibbles, and with a few surprises. Steve has no problem with the elopement, though he tells Chip it's best to tell Polly's dad (Norman Alden). Easier said than done.
Mr. Williams just doesn't like the whole setup, and even goes as far as to hire a private eye (Sidney Clute) to follow Polly! This is fairly melodramatic stuff, but you know everything is on Chip's side because he's a responsible guy. Mr. Williams, though, is not that easily convinced. Norman Alden is perfect for this role, a real stick in the mud. Not many of us kids back in the day were fans of his!
Steve and Barbara are the BEST through all this, and Mrs. Williams (played by Doris Singleton) has some words of wisdom for her doubting husband.
A real good episode with lots of memories. Guest star Sidney Clute was no stranger to playing detectives. He's best known for two classic roles; Detective Simms on MCCLOUD and Detective La Guardia on CAGNEY AND LACEY.
