    I watched this episode as a child in the 80's, when I was about 8. The lessons I learned from the episode have always stayed with me. It impressed on me to never play in an abandoned refrigerator, and also that it is important to pay attention in school, you might miss something really important if you don't. This episode taught those lessons in a great, memorable way. I am now getting the episodes on DVD from Netflix and watching them with my own young daughters, and I hope that they pick up on the same important lessons that I did.moreless

    • Alan: Cherie....I'm really sorry. I blew it. You could have died, and I wasn't there to save you. I'm not good enough to be enough for you anymore. Henry: Oh, Alan, don't be so hard on yourself. I didn't know CPR, either. But I see its value. What do you say we go learn it together? Edit
    • Betty: Cherie, how do you feel? Cherie: I'm hungry! Punky: Something tells me she's gonna be just fine! Edit
    • Henry: Betty, the girls saved her! You should have seen them, they knew exactly what they were doing! Betty: Bless you girls. If it weren't for you, I...I may have lost my baby. Edit
