Look at the positive side, Rick. Joanie won’t ask you to stay home again.

Look at the real positive side, Rick. In the time period we’re looking at, the cops won’t arrest you for neglect…

Poor Joanie, she can never catch a break.

He does have a book resting on the table that looks like it’s being used. That’s a good thing right?

Kid needs a good spanking.

I think it’s way past time to get your own place, Rick!

The first “Pay TV” bill. Now everybody pays for TV and the cable companies and Netflix are getting rich.

No matter which angle you look at it from, sometimes you just get a lemon.

If this was the start of Pay TV, the movie studios were agitated for fifteen or twenty years ahead of time. .In another sense, England had pay TV in the form of licensing fees since way back.

I don’t get what the neighbour means by charge Joanie. Money for babysitting? The kid knocked on a neighbour’s door & she let him watch TV & ring his mum. There is no way she can charge for that.

Also, I think commenters are being a bit rough on Joanie & Rick. It’s tough in the U.S. for parents as daycare is astronomically expensive. Parents do the best they can but when both have a busy work day, the kid just has to entertain himself.
