Transcript

Oh hello Frank, did you hear the good news? Boy I'm the happiest man in the world. Yes it arrived five minutes ago. Cutest little thing you ever saw. Seven pounds, four ounces. No it's not a boy.

It's not a girl either. It's a radio. Now I can hear the life of Riley. Teal, T-E-L, teal, the amazing liquid Dennifress. That's it. Te-E-L, teal, the amazing liquid Dennifress brings you the life of Riley with William Bandic's as Riley.

Remember friends for beautiful smiles, it's T-E-E-L, teal, and just for laughs, it's R-I-L-E-Y, Riley in the life of Riley. Life as the head of a family may be a bowl of cherries, but Chester A. Riley usually gets the pits. His current problem concerns his 13-year-old son, Junior. Right now, Mrs.

Riley is telling the head of the house they detailed. And tonight he didn't need a bite of dinner. Yeah, I noticed that, Dumplin. And for the past few days he's been very moody. So today I decided that I'd try to find out what he's got on his mind.

Well, if Junior's team loses, Marilyn's going with the other boy. I knew there was a woman at the bottom of this, women. The root of all evil. And Junior's too young to go around pulling up roots.

I gotta have a talk with that boy. Now don't you let on, I told you. Oh, no, no, I won't. I'm just going to tell them about the time that a girl put me on a spot like that.
