A Legendary Guest Star

This episode, directed by Joanne Woodward, features Henry Fonda doing a bang-up job as James Lawrence.

James in back in town, and showing signs of dementia. Or possibly, he's just confused because every time he visits, he's a different person. Doug responds by acting like a big old baby.

Also in this episode, the first appearance of Willie's dreadful beard.
