Watching the first episodes, you can see why Ben and his Dad have a love/hate relationship. As a know it all shrink, Dr. Katz sometimes though rather hasty and ridiculous things to motivate Ben to do something with his life. Case in point, throwing away one of his childhood toys. When Ben finds out he is quite angered not so much because of the fact that a toy was thrown away but Katz (like many parents do) has committed the cardinal sin of overstepping his boundary with his child.

Ben likes his privacy and so this intrusion by Katz really makes their relationship shaky. It's no wonder that dysfunction seems to run in the family.

Anyways, a lot of comedic moments. Katz trying to sing and talk to his son in public is disastrous. Nonetheless, Laura, finds it attractive that Ben would sit through such a painful experience with his dad. For a moment, Ben gets the attention that he wants from the girl he likes.

This is a great episode.moreless
