Don't say that word
mitchrmp9 June 2014
Riley is upset when Junior comes home after a fight and admitted he let the boy beat him up. Riley is determined his son won't be a wimp so starts giving him boxing lessons. But he watches junior let three boys bully him. Junior admits the reason to his mother. Riley is determined to teach his boy how to stand up for himself. He's friends with someone who believes that he's a heavy-weight boxing champion and talks him into staging a fight where he wins so Junior can't gain confidence. Only things don't go quite a planned.

The episode ends on a humorous note that pokes fun at Riley, as always.

Babs and Gillis are missing from this episode.

Fighting
JordanThomasHall17 April 2018
Junior comes home with a bloody nose after running away from a fight. Peg is happy that he did while Riley feels his son should defend himself. Against Peg's wishes Riley, along with Waldo and Gillis, teach Junior how to box. They're ashamed to watch him walk away from another fight with Buster. Junior confides in Peg that he won't fight him because he is the brother to his girlfriend Marilyn and she says she won't speak to him again if he fights Buster. Waldo arranges for Riley to stage a mock fight with the well-named former boxer Punchy Clyde (character actor Alan Reed, the voice of Fred Flinstone). He hopes to prove that a bully is all talk and will back down when stood up to.
