Perfectly lovely episode about putting your prejudices aside to come together and learn about different cultures and ways of life, as well as being a friend to the less fortunate.
The youngest son, Chip Douglas, is allowed to invite one friend to Thanksgiving dinner, and Mr. Douglas is bewildered to learn that his friend is a local homeless man (called "hobo" back then), named Johnny Squanto, a man with Native American ancestry (or claims it anyway). The Douglas Boys end up scrambling frantically to prepare their turkey when their oven picks that morning to break down. They enlist the aid of the neighbors to prepare the side dishes, as well as Squanto teaching them how to prepare the bird outdoors, using the land. It's a particularly well written episode that celebrates coming together as friends to enjoy a meal.
