    Jody The Comedian

    Bill is dating female comic Gail Spencer, she inspires Jody to be a comedian too.

    A very good episode. Joyce Van Patten plays Gail. Jody tries out his jokes at school, but the teacher does not find him that funny. The family gets tired of his stale jokes also. Gail also has a serious explanation about why she needs to make people laugh.
