The Aunt Who Came to Dinner

We've all had that pesky aunt or uncle who was a work of art, right?

Such is the case with Katie's disciplined Aunt Cecile (marvelous played by Marsha Hunt). Lucky for Steve, he's leaving for a business trip -- unlucky for the rest --Cecile will stay awhile and use his room?

Now the fun begins as Cecile begins to "re-arrange" the Douglas household, and the gang is fit to be tied. Naturally, the guys don't want to make Kate's aunt feel unwelcome... but they can't wait for her to leave. Please!

An episode that hits home, well written by William Rayner, known for GET SMART, many other sitcoms. A salute to former MGM star Marsha Hunt, a dynamic actress for years, who appeared in films until her early 90s. She passed in 2022 at age 104.

A class act, nothing like the character she played. Marsha was one of the oldest living actresses who made guest appearances into her late 90s, much like Betty White.

By the way, if you're a long time fan of the show, this is a similar story to an early season episode where Steve's sister visited the place and did much the same thing, only with Bub in charge of the kitchen.

From SEASON 8 EPISODE 13 color remastered. All 12 seasons are finally on dvd in a single box set. Thanks much to CATCHY TV and METV for running these oldies.
