This is the first of six DS episodes by Sandy Veith and while it treads a familiar and, yes, Bradyesque path, it does a couple different things with the material.  One is that it gives Coleman a chance to act tough and even imitate Muhammad Ali.  Another is that it adds another layer to the conflict between Willis and Mr. Drummond over who is Arnold's "father."  Note that Kimberly shares a bathroom with the boys, and we get a glimpse of the hallway outside the boys' bedroom.
