...Andersons; all of the episodes were directed by either William D. Russell or Peter Tewksbury, and almost all were written by either Paul West or Roswell Rogers (from the Andy Hardyish family created by Ed James for the radio show).

Yet eventually, as those attempts break down, Skippy accepts the weaknesses...
