As a result, he lacks the respect of his stepchildren, who refer to him by his first name. When Megan calls him by his first name, he always asks, "When did she start calling me Walter?" and Audrey replies, "I don't know." He is also oblivious and cynical regarding Megan's pranks, which have caused the boys many punishments.

A running gag involves a rivalry between him and Bruce Winchill, an unseen weatherman from another station.
