This episode doesn't quite work.  Both Tony and Sam get jobs at the popular teen hang-out the Yellow Submarine, and the '60s references are too overdone and self-conscious.  Worse than that though is that when Tony kicks out some popular but obnoxious teens, the other kids desert the place, so the boss wants Sam to fire her father!  I do like how Angela uses reverse psychology on Sam.  Note that Tony can now finish his housework by 10:30 in the morning, despite all his other activities, like coaching Little League and running the PTA.

Meg Wyllie, who was Mrs. Fleming on The Bob Newhart Show, plays Betty here.  Bill Erwin's third and final role on this show is Leon.
