This is my first time ever at doing an update, and I am not particularly 
good with names, but here goes; HF 12nov92:
I would also like to say that I am doing this from memory (but my memory is
usually pretty good).

First of all, the following characters did NOT appear on this week's show:
Gina &baby, Charley, Linda & whatever the name is of that beautiful 
bartender who was seeing Mr. Sloane.

Mr & Mrs Kahn & baby:
The baby is large and healthy.  Friends called to wish them all welland to
ask if they could see the baby.  He had answered the phone, said the baby
was fine and hugh and sure, come over anytime.  The Mrs got upset at him.
(in case you haven't noticed, I don't seem to be able to recall the 
first names of the Kahns).
She was upset because she wanted him to insinuate that tho the baby was
healthy, it was rather small (due to being born so premature, which we
all know it wasn't) and that the doctor recommended not exposing it
to the germs of wellwishers so visitors would have to wait awhile to
see the new baby.  She said that she did not really care what people
said about her, but she didn't want her son to suffer the cruelty of 
others because they had not waited 'till marriage to hump.
So, he called the people back and relayed the message quite convincingly
and all is now happy in the Kahn home except that the baby has no name.
He keeps on suggesting Jewish names, She suggests christian names, one
of which was Christopher upon which he choked (pardon my grammar).
Mr & Mrs Sloane pop over unexpectantly, to drop off an apple cobbler,
(remember they had seen the baby at birth) and Ruth is quite nice
saying things like within a few months all babies (premies or fullterm)
catch up to each other and look alike. (She obviously knows from looking 
at the size of it that it was not a premie, but she was *very* sweet and
reassuring about how no one would be able to tell in a few months).
The Sloanes ask if the baby has a name, at which point Mr. Kahn says
that it has been tough finding a name that would satisfy the certain
requirements they had.  At this point Mrs. Kahn says that they were
thinking Michael was a lovely name and it seemed to fit their require-
ments.  (It was the first time the name was mentioned to the audience,
so who knows if they discussed it previously).
The Sloanes were taken back and at first speachless (I couldn't tell
if they were happy or not), then Ruth said that she wished they had as 
much happines with this new Michael as they had had with their son,
Michael.

The Sloanes & Abe & Gloria:
The sloanes came home early one day & suprised Gloria who was baking
two large cobblers in the oven (that she was making for their restuarant)
along with the roast that she was making for the Sloanes' dinner.
The Sloanes asked what smelled so good, GLoria said roast (hoping to be able
to hide the cobblers from them) but Mr Sloane looked in the oven anyway
since it obviously didn't smell like just a roast.  Ruth got on Gloria's
case about making TWO such big cobblers for them, Gloria said that apples
were a great price & in season, but Ruth said we don't go overboard
just because something is on special, and to watch the budget.
Mr Sloane said, "I know, why don't Gloria & Abe Take one home"
(which would mean that they were out only one cobbler for the restaurant)
but Ruth said no, that they would take the second one over to the
Kahn's because food was always appreciated when there was a new baby around.
Off go the Sloanes.  GLoria is mad because she just lost the ingredients
that it took to make those two cobblers (she had used her own ingredients)
and the very rich Sloanes get to have them!
SO, Gloria calls Abe's mother to get more of those apples to make more cobblers
for their resaurant.  Later who should appear at the Sloanes' back door but
Abe's mother(with apples)!  And, of course Ruth just happens to pop into the
kitchen at that exact moment.  Gloria hides the apples from Ruth, but she
has to introduce her mother-in-law to Ruth.
Next, we see Ruth showing her hubby the picture in the Magazine that had
appeared with Abe's mother at the restaurant.  Ruth says no onder the
servants had acted weird when the Sloanes had mentioned seeing that picture.
Ruth presumed Abe's mother worked at the restaurant and so she suggested
that they go to the restaurant just one time and, no matter how bad the
food was, that they should make a point of mentioning how wonderful the food
is there to Abe & Gloria (got to keep good help happy).
Next we see the Sloanes outside of the resaurant (whose name escapes me)
but it is closed, but they see people inside, oh no it is Abe & Gloria.
They confront Abe & Gloria. Mr S. says Abe lied to him about working for 
someone else, Abe said no he did not. Abe doesn't work for someone else,
they work for themselves (but only on weekends).  The Sloanes don't fire them
YET!  Secretly, Ruth said that she won't fire them until they have found their 
replacements first.  She says "I'm not going to make that mistake, again"
(I do not know to what she is refering.  It appears she might have fired them
once, before looking for replacements, and had trouble replacing them)
Ruth says she will do the interviewing in the office, so Abe & Gloria
don't find out.  She says she asked a friend for a list of new servants.
Next we see Ruth interviewing....It is hopeless...ABe & Gloria are far
superior to anyone else out there.  So, the Sloanes decide to keep
Abe & Gloria so long as they promise never to cook again for the restaurant
at the Sloanes'.
So they go tell thier decision to Abe & GLoria, who in turn tell the Sloanes
that the Sloanes' frineds are under the impression that Abe & Gloria need
new employers and that they may have to leave the Sloanes because they have
been offered more money at several other places.  Well, the Sloanes are 
forced to match the highest offer (Way to go, Abe & Gloria!!!).

Ginger & Jeff & soon-to-be-ex Mrs. Charley (I can't remember her name, the 
tramp, so I will just refer to her here as MrsC.):

Jeff is on the train to play ball, GInger is there because Lemon Tomato
Juice (LTJ for short) is sponcering the ball tour.  MrsC is on the train
to go to Reno for a quicky divorce(the tramp)  Oops...
On the train, of importance, is also a man who is in charge of the ball
tour.  I'll refer to him as the LTJman.  There is a female chaperone
and curfew keeper (sexually deprived, doesn't know the meaning of 
"let loose").  Also on board is the guy/ball player that Ginger went
out with on last episode (Remember the pillow he brought her back from
the last away game?)  He is a law student whose name escapes me, so I will
refer to him as law student.
(Boy, this is taking me longer to write then it took me to watch the show).
The usual stuff goes on between Ginger Jeff Lawstudent Tramp (I mean MrsC).
There is a curfew, no women, no liquor, no swearing, no fun at all rule, 
for the players.  Each time you break a rule you get a demerit. 5 demerits
and you are off the tour.  MVP of each game ggets $50. for that game and 
has to do a scripted interview with Ginger (the LTJgirl) live on radio.
The script mentions in 100 different ways how wonderful LTJ is.
Jeff HATES LTJ, but the LTJman tells Jeff that it is LTJ that is paying his
paycheck, so say what the script says or else he is off the tour.
The Tramp/MrsC finds out how much money ball players make, and she decides
that she wants a ballplayer husband, namely Jeff.  So she changes her ticket
so that she can continue with the tour (they were taking the slow way, she 
was going to go the direct way to Nevada.)
Jeff gets 4 demerits total for thingslike swaering and trying to sneak a 
drink with Tramp/MrsC who figures if she can bed such a sexually
frustrated and deprived young stud, then she can get him and his
paycheck to the alter.
Ginger is being pursued by the lawyer who manages to sneak both her and 
liquor without getting demerits.
He tries to seduce Ginger, she declines, and gets ready for bed (hers).
Tramp/MrsC meanwhile is getting the LTJ chapperone drunk, so that Jeff won't
have to worry about a curfew.  She suggests that chaperone let loose and
ggo for the man she wants.  Later, a rather drunk chaperone puts on 
Ginger's LTJ skimpy outfit (shorts & bandeau) and goes into lawyer's 
compartment (that has an empty champagne bottlein it from having
tried to get ginger drunk) and tells the law student she wants him; all
he knows to do is get her coffee, so he leaves.  She takes off the
LTJgirl outfit & goes in his bed.  Jeff passes by compartment, sees a girl
in bed (face down), the LTJgirl outfit on the floor, and an empty champagne
bottle.  Gues who he thinks is in the bed, and guess what he thinks 
happened....
The next day he is MVP, and after the game, on live radio, is suppose to
talk to Ginger about how wonderfulLTJ is.  He is mad, rants & raves about
how the only reason people buy the stuff is because it is cheap and it
has a 1/2naked girl on the label. Then he punches out Lawstudent. Ginger
tries to cover up for him on the radio, but she is MAD!
Last scene is Jeff with his bag leaving to go home figuring he was off the
team.  LTJman comes running after him saying that the public loved what
he said about LTJ (cheap & 1/2naked girl on label) and that they were 
bying LTJ at amazing rates!
LTJman pleads w/Jeff to stay and do the same thing on the radio at the
end of every day, added bonus and all, Jeff says no way and guess what
happens.... A merchant drops a couple of cases of fresh tomatoes,
and who else but Jeff should happen to slip upon them and tho we don't
see him on the pavement, we here him groan & moan & groan in pain.

Scenes from the next episode were shown, it will be a repeat of last year's:
the dance contest.
Phew!!!
