I like this series and for the most part was entertained by it. However, sometimes the writers went way overboard with their ideas of family values and the American Dream. Of course, if all people could follow the overall concepts of truth, honor, dignity, justice, patriotism, etc we would be living in a utopian world. But, as we all know, the real world is not Father Knows Best. This is why I think this episode, which starts off interesting enough, morphs into a soapy, overboard, preachy propaganda lesson in tradition. It's almost embarrassing watching Robert Young try his best, giving this speech. Far from great, but still entertaines.
