It's a great idea by the producers to have had Groucho's then-father-in-law as a contestant, but Groucho is pretty tame with him. The real highlight of this show is when Chris Gugas of couple #2 gives Groucho an impromptu polygraph test, which turns into a very funny segment.

COUPLE #1: Barbara Gant, who tries to explain phonetics to Groucho / Edgar Higgins, Groucho's father-in-law!!!
COUPLE #2: Fay Spain / Chris Gugas, who talks about reducing vandalism in public schools
