1×02 My Family’s Just Right For Me:
It’s the eve of “Family Night” at school. A super time for Barney and his friends to celebrate all those wonderful folks (and even pets!) at home. With paintings, books, songs, and dances. There’s just one glitch to the gala; Kathy’s not sure her “small” family measures up. It’s just her mom, her grandmother, and herself.
