    Nerene Virgin had such a warm, kind presence. Nobody could have played Jodie as well as she did.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    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.......

    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
