The Barkleys were a typical idea of an all-American blue collar family since the days of radio sitcoms. Arnie, a know-it-all, short-tempered bus driver, his sweet but dim wife Agnes, and their problems dealing with their growing kids: Roger, a tall, long haired older boy, Terry, their headstrong, busy teen daughter and grade school boy Chester. Plots are usually about Arnie's harebrained schemes to get gain status or riches, or his misinterpreting his kids' activities.

Sat, Sep 9, 1972
Arnie the bus driver hates long haired, hippie boys and is glad one turns down a ride, but at home, his teen aged daughter Terry and Mother have a surprise for him-the same boy wants to take her out. Reluctantly he lets them go next door to a party, but Arnie's caught by a cop eavesdropping on it. He gets an idea from a TV show that Terry and the boy are going to elope at a rock concert, which he crashes, destroying instruments and causing a scene on stage until he's arrested.
