inherited craziness when they married.

I said toJanet,

"What do we know of his parents?"

- Which leads us to-

This afternoon's surprise prize, Bert...

which is a delirious stay in

that evergreen series Happy Homes...

- with unlimited use of a new dream kitchen.

- Infantile regression?

- You got it!

- I got it!

- She got it! She got it!

- I got it!

I got it!

She got it!

Congratulations. Congratulations.

And it's Happy Homes...

to Harry and Emily Weiss

of Denton.

I got it! I got it!

She got it! She got it!

In one. Infantile regression.

Our speciality!

- Your speciality.

- I can't wait to begin on him.

Really, Bert, I don't know what

we'd do without you.

I must confess...

the decision to have Brad committed

was not strictly my own.

No, of course. There's Janet.

But if she was

so keen on getting him in here...

why wouldn't she sign

the contract?

No, it wasn'tJanet exactly.

- It was, in fact, your new sponsor.

- Sponsor?

- Dentonvale has been sold.

- Sold?

Dear old Bert's

settled everything.

Ja, you endorse

his Faith Factory...

- and he endorses your research.

- He?

How dare this person take

advantage of my weakness!

I don't think he intends

to go that far.

If only you knew

How to win some prizes

If only you knew

How to play

If you could sleep nights

And stop your crying

Then you might find out

I still love you

In my own way

If that's not enough

then I'm

So sorry I met you

It was almost like

Leading you on

But there's more to it all

Than just wringing your heart out

over something

That keeps on going wrong

So don't tell me

you love me

How am I supposed to know

what that means

No, don't sell emotion

You can't buy devotion

If you're falling apart

at the seams

I hope that

you'll smile when you

Reach your conclusion

I hope that you'll know

just what to say

But if it should mean

That the party is over

You should know

that I still love you

You should know that

I still love you

You should know

that I still love you

In my own way

In my own way

In my own way

In my own way

- Oh, my poor baby.

- Oh, Mom, it's Brad.

I know. I know, baby.

He's gonna get all the help he needs.

- But in the meantime, look. For you.

- What is it?

They call it a new look

at an old favorite.

I copied it from

The Window on the World show.

- The Far East meets the Midwest.

- Mom...

It's just what

the doctor ordered, I know.

- Come on in. My favorite show's just started.

- What show?

Dentonvale.

Love starts in the home...

and where better to

find this than in today's Happy Homes.

With guest star, Janet Majors.

If you're sick of having the goodness

boiled away out of your coffee...
