Alice's Freedom.

WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME, the only successful, animated sitcom in the 27 year gap between the FLINTSTONES and SIMPSONS, progresses to its 42nd regular episode...

Teenage Alice is, once again, railing against all parental authority or even guidance. Only this time Harry's passive-aggressive old bat of a Mother In-Law is visiting to make matters worse.

We meet more hippie-dippy non-parents using 'progressive' ideas to justify neglecting their kids. This sort of snowballed over the next few generations, didn't it?!

From January, 1974.
