Meet Corliss Archer

Having been invited to a party requiring formal attire, Corliss and Dexter struggle to find the necessary garments without breaking the bank.

Mr. Archer and Mr. Franklin decide to teach their children Corliss and Bill the value of saving money and the benefits that come with it.

To get his dream cast for the annual school play, Director Dexter continually drops names and lies to his actors about the importance of their roles.

After seeing Mr. Archer hide a package and misunderstanding a business call, Corliss and Dexter decide he's a kleptomaniac.

When Corliss and Dex ask for help with a tough algebra problem, their initially smug parents eventually struggle to find a solution as well.

Corliss has the measles, which makes Mr. Archer happy, because that means a whole week without Dexter...until Dex is quarantined along with her!

Harry needs to make an important phone call, but he loses the phone number AND the phone!

Dex is bet he can't keep a job for a week.

Harry has a bad cold and Janet makes him stay in bed, but everyone leaves him alone except Dex

Dexter flies his model airplane through Corliss' window, glass and all, then insists on fixing it himself.

The Archers and Dex decide that being totally honest with each other will be productive.

Harry bets everyone he can lose five pounds in five days and wear his old cutaway suit to a friend's wedding. Disaster is just around the corner.

Mrs. Archer buys a rare--and ugly--vase, which winds up causing trouble in the neighborhood.

When Dexter discovers Corliss is being pursued by a rival who wants her to be a cheerleader, he asks Mr. Archer for advice about what to do.

Harry decides Janet needs help so he hires a maid, who turns out to be very unpleasant and not at all what they expected.

Dex thinks he is an adult, so he starts his own business: babysitting. Now it's all work, work, work.

When Harry and Dexter find out that Corliss and Janet let them win at games, they decide to even the score.

The Archers decide they are spending too much money and have to cut back.

Corliss plans a party with all of her friends, but Harry and Janet don't think she is old enough to host her own party.
