No question, a hilarious re-working (thanks to writer George Tibbles) of the famous episode where --instead-- Jane Wyman came to visit Steve.
This time, it's Barbara's turn, and tall, dark and handsome Albert (best played by Craig Stevens) is interested in talking about old times. How convenient! You have to love this awkward stuff, and things that actually do happen to every one of us, it's so relatable.
I can tell you one thing, and thanks to Murphys Law. Had Barbara never married Steve, Albert would never be in the picture!
To further complicate matters, Steve invites Albert to dinner and watch what happens. Beverly Garland's stunned looks are priceless! She was a one of a kind actress, full of emotion. Great casting of Craig Stevens in this role, forever remembered as tv detective PETER GUNN.
Without fail, very similar to the type of wacky stories on LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE. And it seems that's what the producers were trying to do to broaden the audience.
Yes, I agree with the notes. Barbara tells Albert Robbie is Steve's oldest son. Mike (Tim Considine) is actually the oldest, but having gotten married and moved away years ago. Tim left the series to work on other film projects, and was kind of written out of the series, although his name would "occasionally" pop up. Quite the same story with Bub (William Frawley), who retired from the show in 1965 and passed in 1966. And then came Uncle Charley.
But we will never forget them.
