7.5/10on IMDb
First aired
In the Sinclair household, Fran's mother Ethyl can question what Earl calls tradition in front of his children.

7.6/10on IMDb
First aired
When Cotton visits, Bobby starts copying his grandfather's behavior and Hank has to tell his own father to stop setting that example. Cotton is loud enough to make Hank seem gentle by comparison.
