[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 429331, member: 27"] So from what I'm reading here, this must be the source material for the American sitcom [I]Too Close For Comfort[/I], which I recall watching and enjoying. TCFC was mostly a "star vehicle" for Ted Knight, better known to most as Ted Baxter from [I]Mary Tyler Moore. [/I] This was definitely the main thrust of TCFC, that Henry (not Dudley) Rush was frequently worried/anxious about his daughters and wanted to protect them from the world outside their home. To be fair, the show was set in[I] 1980s San Francisco[/I], so there were numerous opportunities for the characters to encounter weirdos and counter-culture types whom Henry would react against. His wife Muriel (played by Nancy Dussault) had been a bit of a hippie in her youth so she provided a sort of calming influence on Henry while also helping the girls get their dad to give in . A scene I recall featured Henry and Muriel trying to sleep while daughters Jackie and Sara are having a party downstairs. [I]Henry [sniffing the air in the darkened bedroom]: "What's that? Is that pot? [/I][freaking out][I]Are they smoking pot down there?" Muriel [undisturbed]: "It's incense." Henry: "Incense? Why would they be burning incense?" Muriel: "It kills the smell of the pot."[/I] [/QUOTE]
