Teal for a beautiful smile, a life of rally for laughs. Teal, T-E-E-L, Teal, the amazing liquid deniferous. That's it. Te-E-E-L. The amazing liquid deniferous brings to the life of Riley, with William Bendix as Riley.

Remember friends for a beautiful smile, the T-E-E-L, Teal, and just the laughs, it's our eye, L-E-Y Riley and the life of Riley. Tester A. Riley is a great warrior, but today for a change he isn't worrying about himself.

He's too busy pacing up and down the living room of his little California bungalow, worrying about the younger generation in general and his 13-year-old son Junior in particular. Paige, it's almost 10 o'clock. Where is Junior so late?

Oh, I think he went to a meet with a new clubby joint. A club? He's got no business joining clubs. What's wrong with it? Oh, a kid can have all kinds of funny ideas, not into his head by a club.

Oh stop making a mountain out of a mole here. I'd rather make a mountain out of a molehose than have my boy making jute out of a jute mill. How is his schoolwork been lately?
