Brother's Keeper

After taking Uncle Bobby's advice, Oscar ends up in the vice-principal's office. But it's Porter and Bobby who are punished when the vice principal sends them to a parenting class.

Porter's worried about Bobby's influence when Oscar decides he wants to be a bus driver instead of going to college. Since Oscar's been spending so much time with Bobby, Porter has been left with gaps in his day so Bobby suggests he get a hobby.

When Oscar and Rose are allowed to go to the movies by themselves, Rose persuades Oscar to sneak into an extra film without paying; and when Oscar inadvertently confesses, Porter decides to teach his son a lesson.

When Porter berates Bobby for not cleaning up after himself, Bobby reacts in a typical fashion: he hires a maid; Oscar pays Rose to do his chores.

Bobby's gross costume frightens Oscar more than he wants to let on, ruining his favorite holiday of the year. Bobby tries to comfort Oscar after a particularly bad nightmare.

Bobby finds himself in a football-kicking slump after he promises to make a field goal for Oscar during a Monday Night Football game. ABC's NFL Monday Night Football commentators Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf and Boomer Esiason guest star as themselves.

Bobby is shocked when he fails his mandatory drug test, which leaves Oscar doubting the integrity of his football-playing uncle. The strictly drug-free Bobby is determined to clear his good name with the help of Porter and Dena. Guest star: Karl Malone.

Porter puts his foot down when Bobby attempts to decorate and lavish Oscar with enormous birthday gifts, so Bobby buys the family a larger house.

When Bobby mocks Porter for putting encouraging notes in Oscar's school lunches just as their mother did to him, Porter realizes that his parents treated their sons very differently and had very different expectations of them.

Porter becomes depressed after he gives a talk on Abraham Lincoln to Oscar's class and literally bores the students to sleep; Bobby hopes to shine up his brother's image in class.
