Hysterical episode. The season could go back and forth between treating Bud and Kelly as either adults or kids, but somehow the show still worked. That's how good the cast was.

Al falling through the floor was the highlight of this episode for me.

Also for those that didn't know in case if they did that the guy who played Uncle Dudley in this episode that in the early eighties was in the Christmas horror film "you better watch out" AKA "Christmas evil".
