Green Eggs and Harry is the ninth episode of the second season of Empty Nest and the thirty-first episode overall. Directed by Steve Zuckerman and written by Rob LaZebnik and David Sack, it premiered on NBC-TV on December 2nd, 1989.

Summary[]

A patient's father hires Harry to write a children's book, and he asks Carol for help when he can't come up with ideas. When Carol's ideas are terrible and Barbara's are good, he tries to keep the truth from Carol. Charley tries to get out of jury duty, but ends up falling for a beautiful blonde foreman.

Plot[]

Harry refuses to give Charley a medical excuse for skipping jury duty, but Charley then falls for the beautiful blonde foreman of the jury.

A patient's father hires Harry to write a children's book, Jumpy the Frog Goes to the Hospital, but he can't come up with ideas, he agrees to Carol being his partner. Carol's suggestions are less than appropriate for a children's book, such as "You needed that shot, Jumpy, because during the operation you aspirated on your own vomit.", but Barbara's are more age-appropriate, so Harry tries to keep the truth from Carol.[1]
