* {{Blackmail}}: The episode "Miss Marin Bugler" (from the final season, when the series was known as ''The Ted Knight Show'') involved a man named Ed Hugo, who threatened to released nude pictures of the winner of a beauty pageant (taken when she was only 17) that was organized by Henry to drum up publicity in the ''Marin Bugler'' newspaper. Henry is blackmailed to paying money ([[spoiler: ultimately doing so, acing him out of the opportunity to purchase a sailboat]]) in exchange for preventing the photos from being released.[[note]]Interestingly, the episode fails to acknowledge that taking nude photographs of anyone under 18 constitutes as felony child pornography in the United States. The fact the photos were in the possession of Henry and his boss Hope (who both own and are editor/publisher of a newspaper, respectively) makes it very problematic (they do find the photos scandalous though, and dislike the fact that the young woman was exploited like that at such a young age). The photographer who took the photos and the person who blackmailed Henry into paying him off to prevent the photos from being released could have also faced charges as well (the photographer for taking the photos, and the blackmailer for extortion and possession of child pornography).[[/note]]
