* AfraidOfDoctors: Simply saying the word "dentist" to Chumley will make him leap on the chandelier and refuse to come down; an episode where he has a toothache results in this refusal causing Tennessee to try some rather bizarre ways to extract the tooth before Mr. Whoopie convinces him to see one.
