Nerene Virgin had such a warm, kind presence. Nobody could have played Jodie as well as she did.
We'll miss you, Jody. 😢

yes, we'll miss her
I remember watching this show all the time as a kid in the late 1980’s and early ‘90’s. This was one of the first episodes I saw. Great to watch it again on here!
I think the man who portrayed Phil also portrayed Doc on Fraggle Rock.
Doc from Fraggle Rock!
At 17 minutes, couldn't Jeff and Jody smell the alcohol? He was pretty wasted by then.

And even if they couldn’t smell the alcohol,his behavior did show a few red flags. Jeff could definitely tell that something was up.
there's Gerry Parkes, best known as Doc on "Fraggle Rock"

Gerry Parkes later played general store owner Barton Winslow on PBS' Shining Time Station. (I believe he was credited as Gerard Parkes on that series.)

My aunt drinks. 😕
This is the one episode where I've seen Sam get so upset.
My aunt uses to smoke but not anymore
Why did Nerene/ Jody poke Muffy's nose when she says, "Phil, himself?" 😂
They should have gotten Coop Scoop from the Newspaper episode to take Jodie's pictures!!! Coop was not an alcohalic and Coop had a camera--he took the gang's picture at the end.....all Sam had to say to Phil when he first met Phil "I need you to hand over your flask Phil because alcohal is not allowed in the store" and if Phil did not comply he could kick Phil out.......
This EPISODE Of Today's Special Phil Visit Nerene Virgin Talks To Kids About Alcohol & This EPISODE Help Gownups Get Help.
Interesting how this episode addressed personal responsibility when it comes to alcoholism when many times on TV all you heard was alcoholism was a disease to make it sound like the person drinking didn’t have any responsibility
The whole evening was wasted? The only one wasted was Phil. 😂
Do you have the episodes ``Storms'' ``The Blue Cow'' ?
Wait a sec.....when and how did Jeff and Jodie know Phil was an alcohalic!! They never saw him with his flask......and they were never told by Sam......and how did Muffy know Phil was an alcohalic when Sam didn't actually tell her!!!
Would you happen to have "The Sea:?
If You Go To Toronto Go To The Museum Of Children Tv At The TODAY'S SPECIAL Display You Can See Muffy & Sam You Can Go To The Department Store Formally Simpsons Limited.
You wouldnt happen to have "Wishes" would you???
