The Letter
Premiere - A nineteen-year-old (Steve Guttenberg) with ""Walter Mitty"" flights of fancy finds himself constantly caught between his fantasies and the hard realities of life. Comedian Don Adams makes a special appearance in the premiere episode, in which Billy sees his career in the funeral home leading no where. So, he applies for a job as a radio announcer and anxiously awaits his interview at the radio station. Meanwhile, he's in trouble at the mortuary. Mr Shadrack learns that Billy borrowed the hearse the night before to take his girlfriend, Ginny, to a drive in movie. Billy's imagination is heightened when he envisions his family as rolling in wealth, pictures himself as a broadcasting executive, uses a machine gun on his boss and then faces a firing squad himself.

Billy (Steve Guttenberg) claims honesty is not always the best policy in computer dating and tells him he must stretch the truth a little if he wants to attract the gorgeous girls. He falsifies several applications while Arthur (Bruce Talkington) sticks to the truth.
Fathers and Sons
In an effort to improve their relationship, Billy and George (James Gallery) go backpacking. But, things get claustrophobic when they go camping with a father and son with whom they have nothing in common. Guest Star Lou Ferrigno appears as the Incredible Hulk.
