One To Grow On: "Problems with Parents" with Dwight Schultz (1986)

The host of this One To Grow On segment needs no introduction to any 80s kid - he's The A-Team's "Howling Mad Murdock," Dwight Schultz. The topic was about handling decisions between disobeying your parents and doing what you wanted to do, as a young kid's mother expresses her dislike for his new neighborhood friend.

Now Chucky don't ever do that
0:00:03.880,0:00:04.380
Mmm...
0:00:08.060,0:00:09.180
I caught the ball
0:00:10.680,0:00:14.360
Hi, I'm Dwight Schultz, and I'll be right back with One To Grow On
0:00:16.800,0:00:17.840
Where ya going honey?
0:00:17.840,0:00:20.220
Oh, Jerry White and I are going to play some ball
0:00:20.540,0:00:22.000
Isn't he the new boy down the block?
0:00:22.040,0:00:22.540
Uh huh
0:00:22.640,0:00:24.640
I don't know if I like that boy, Adam...
0:00:24.720,0:00:25.620
Oh mom...
0:00:25.620,0:00:27.740
There's something about him that's different
0:00:27.740,0:00:29.040
Maybe you shouldn't play with him
0:00:29.240,0:00:30.360
[knock on the door]
0:00:32.300,0:00:33.220
Hi Adam!
0:00:33.740,0:00:34.940
Hi Mrs. Stepner
0:00:35.180,0:00:39.060
Boy it can be tough when your parents think differently about one of your friends than you do
0:00:39.260,0:00:43.560
But there is a way to solve the problem of choosing between dropping one of your friends and
0:00:43.560,0:00:44.620
disobeying your parents.
0:00:45.160,0:00:47.700
Find out what it is that your folks don't like about your friend
0:00:47.700,0:00:52.820
and at the same time, assure them that you're not so foolish as to let somebody rope you into trouble.
0:00:52.820,0:00:56.260
That way they can give your friend a chance, and rest easy about you.
0:00:58.800,0:01:00.040
I'll tell you what, mom...
0:01:00.040,0:01:02.400
I promise I won't get into any trouble.
0:01:02.720,0:01:05.660
And mom, if you get to know Jerry, you'll like him
0:01:05.900,0:01:07.660
Why don't you invite him to dinner next week?
0:01:07.740,0:01:09.040
All right, mom!
0:01:10.860,0:01:11.840
[laughter]
0:01:12.360,0:01:14.240
And that's One To Grow On
