Plot Ideas

If you could go back in time and write George a letter suggesting ideas for the show, what would you say?

1. I would've liked the Mortons to have a daughter in college who visits periodically. Harry Morton as a crazy overprotective dad sounds hilarious. And she could've been a love interest for Ronnie (Gracie and Blanche, mothers-in-law?!).

2. I always felt bad for Harry Von Zell. He was often the butt of the joke, and most of his relationships got messed up unintentionally by Gracie and/or George. It would've have been nice for him to "win" more often.

3. Blanche's brother Roger was so annoying. I would've liked to see an episode where Blanche realizes his true colors and apologizes to Harry and the Burnses for his behavior.
