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

A little bit smile to Teal, Teal, and just for laughs it's R-I-L-E-Y, Riley in the life of Riley. Well, for the past few weeks, Mr. and Mrs. Chester A. Riley and their two teenage children, Babs and Junior, were vacationing in the East and all was quiet on the Western Front.

But now the family is back in their little California bungalow, and as we look in on the Riley's, we find them on a subject that comes up in a lot of kitchens. But mother, the coat's only $30.

I'm sorry, Babs, we just can't afford it. I'm going to ask Daddy. Now, don't start, Pester and your father at breakfast. I promise him never to talk about money during meal time. I know, so now whenever I bring up the subject of money, he starts eating.

Mom's right, Bab. Slay off a pop. Let's keep him in a good mood. Well, that's very considerate of you, Junior. Well, sure. Then I can hit him for a buck. You'll do nothing of the kind.

Oh, what a beautiful morning. Good morning, Duck. Hello, dear. Morning off spring. Oh, Daddy. Ah, that's what I like to see. My own little family gathered around the breakfast table without a care in the world.

Daddy, dear. No. Ha. No. Gosh, you don't even know what I was going to ask you. I know. When it comes to you kids, I'm psychopathic. You want money. Only a dollar. Didn't I give you a dollar yesterday?
