- Synopsis:
The misadventures of a wealthy Manhattan family who adopted the children of their late African American housekeeper from Harlem...Drummond and Maggie begin an all-out effort to rescue Sam from their captors through a variety of methods, some of which backfire. Meanwhile, Don goes to great lengths to hide from his own family the fact that he kidnapped Sam. But the 7-year-old Sam uses his intuition and instinct to rescue himself, knowing that everyone he loves could face a very violent death if he is caught...Arnold and Drummond have a difference of opinion when Arnold and his friends consider throwing fruit to protest a local civic group that is against black people... Arnold overhears Drummond's phone conversation where he authorises the firing of a poorly performing employee. Knowing he is getting an F in geometry (and fearing similar treatment from his father), Arnold turns to a con artist to forge his report card and Drummond's signature. But things backfire when Drummond - elated when he thinks his son had done outstanding in the class - plans to have him enrolled in an advanced placement course...In the last completed episode, Arnold discovers a steroid ring operating among athletes at his school and tries to publicise it in the school newspaper... - Actors:
