I watched this show on TV Land and I feel sure some important parts of the show were edited out. Because from what I saw the ending really did not make sense. There had to be some important parts of the show either missing or left on the editing room floor because if this was the correct ending then this show was a terrible in more ways than one.
The plot involved an older man named Prince, played by Jack Albertson, who has been accused by his daughter of being incompetent and needing help from a mental hospital. The main reason for this is that he use to be a Philadelphia high society member but since his wife died he started drinking. Now he is a constant drunk that has people laughing not only at him but also at his daughter. The daughter is engaged to be married to a man named Tom who is more after the old man's money that love of his daughter.
Prince finds a friend in a person named Dirty Sally (on the verge of having her own short run series) played by Jeanette Nolan, that befriends him and accompany Prince to a court hearing in front of Judge Brooker. But it will not be too long until Tom feels like he cannot wait much longer for the old man to die or be committed so he takes manner into his own hands.
The best thing in this entire episode was the performance of Jeanette Nolan as Dirty Sally. Other than that performance- not much is remarkable about this show. Albertson did not look believable as the drunk and even uncomfortable while sweet talking Sally. And at the ending of the show one question is answered- what ever became of his daughter is still a mystery. I hope something was edited out of the ending to this show for the entire episode's sake.
