About this episode
The episode discusses Wesley's feelings of being an outcast and the dynamics of throwing a party in response to social exclusion.
In the second ever episode of Mr. Belvedere (which was originally released on March 22nd, 1985), Wesley feels like an outcast when he isn’t invited to his friend Howie’s party. Mr. Belvedere comes to the rescue, suggesting that Wesley instead throw a party of his own. This week, we get into how young Wesley handles the situation, whether or not the alternative party was a good idea, and if George is in fact striking his children.
