* WhenYouComingHomeDad: As the reason for the estrangement between father and son was unstated, one theory is that, during his son's childhood, Eddie was so busy with his work, becoming wealthy and (likely) partying and carousing around that he rarely, if ever, spent any quality time with his son, and delivered many empty promises that he would do so. Whatever the reason for the estrangement is, Eddie admits that he made some mistakes, and he clearly regrets making them.

What is the price of success?

What do you have to sacrifice to attain success?

More pointedly, what is success?

Many situation comedy episodes have addressed that topic through the years, some with good results, others not so good. But what if, sometimes, the results of outward "success" -- material wealth, luxury cars, several business holdings, etc. -- are tragic and at the cost of the things that really matter?

That's the case with Edward Frazier, an old Army buddy of Archie's, as he hopes to share with him and his friends his "'''Success Story'''" ... but it's one filled with woe.
