Mary's boyfriend of the week is a guy named Wes (played by Jerry Van Dyke, Dick's brother). I always felt he was cast in parts because people felt sorry for him. He was in a show called "My Mother the Car" where his dead mother comes back as a car. Need I say more. Anyway, he is the script writer for the "Chuckles the Clown Show." Now that's funny. Apparently, Chuckles had a real mean streak and kept firing his writers. Anyway, when Wes quits the Chuckles show and doesn't get another job at the station, he decides to try standup comedy. It's a total disaster where even his friends can't find anything to laugh about. But there is one terrific bit where Mary is crying and Lou follows her into the bathroom. It is worth watching the whole show just to see that.
