  • For Hazel Horvath
    Hunky Max Horvath comes back to town to train the new flight instructors while his troubled wife Julie is staying home to take her "exams". We never found out what she was studying,
    Of course he is roped into being the temporary Little League coach for pouty lipped waif Alex Handris and hi jinks ensue.
    Ridiculous episode made charming by Michael Lembeck and little Damon Riskin.

      This was filmed early in the seventh season (23:42 was Valerie's main opening credit shots - you'll see it in closing credits on the left at 26:01 at and in the opening credits on the right at 26:11). The young man is Glenn Scarpelli playing the part of "Alex Handris", the son of Ann's once-boyfriend Nick Handris (played by Ron Rifkin) from season six. Ron Rifkin left the show in 1981. Glenn's character was so popular at the time that they kept him on with the storyline that his mother and remarried to a man who traveled too much and would not be in one place long enough for him (schooling, etc.).
