Bracken's World· Season 1 · Episode 22
Papa Never Spanked Me
Comedian Joey Jason is cast in a serious role in Kevin's latest film. Joey's immediate problem is that he cannot seem to adapt to the role of an unlikeable character. To make himself more comfortable, he convinces Kevin to hire his father, Mort Jason, as a walkon and he tries to romance Laura Dean. Kevin becomes impatient, and finally implores Mort to ""spank"" Joey, since Joey is fond of saying that ""papa never spanked me."" Mort realizes that Joey is ruining the part with his good-guy routine, so he uses a comedy bit to make Joey face the reality of the situation. Joey is hurt and angry, but he comes to terms with the situation, and assures Kevin that he will give the role his best. Guest stars: Martin Sheen as Joey Jason
Jack Albertson as Mort Jason Written by: Alan Spies Directed by: Charles S. Dubin
