* In "Week at Grandma's", Mama and Papa go on a second honeymoon at a lodge...which does not go well as planned to say the least. First, their tennis game gets ruined by a dog stealing the ball. Then, Papa accidentally loses their picnic while on a canoe ride. At dinnertime, their making up for skipping lunch is foiled by their meals being ''very'' small portions. Finally, they dance to REALLY loud rock 'n' roll music instead of slow dancing.
