Wait Till Your Father Gets Home: Sweet Sixteen

This starts out with cliches about teenage drivers, especially girl drivers, as Alice is turning sixteen.  (Which messes with the continuity of most of the season, but oh well.)  Then Irma wants to throw a big party for Alice and she hires her friend's caterer, who's voiced by an uncredited but unmistakable Paul Lynde.  And he wants a Roman theme, which makes Ralph assume an orgy, which turns Whitaker on.  There's a sweet scene where Alice says she doesn't want her father to get into debt for her party; she knows he loves her, and she loves him.  Again, not a particularly topical episode, unless you count Ralph thinking that caviar is really made from human cells!

Fred S. Fox and Seaman Jacobs would go on to write for Hong Kong Phooey.
