The Old Folks #1: Molly cools Bert’s ardor with one-liner put-downs. The Old Folks #2: Bert tries to persuade Molly to take a glamorous vacation together. The Old Folks #3: The rocking chair lovers reminisce, because there’s not much else left! The Old Folks #4: Another suitor tries to capture Molly’s fancy, much to Bert’s dismay. The Old Folks #5: The couple try to stay awake to ring in the New Year. The Old Folks #6: Bert spies on a "topless" male lifeguard when the couple vacations to Florida. The Old Folks #7: Deciding what to watch on TV becomes a challenge when Molly can’t remember the name of the show she wanted to watch. The Old Folks #8: Recalling the details of their honeymoon is difficult when Bert and Molly keep falling asleep. The sketches are fast paced and sure to challenge actors of any skill level.
