It’s an ‘80s double feature on this episode as a bullied teenage boy new to California finds help from a kindly maintenance man who teaches him a martial art in John G. Avildsen’s THE KARATE KID. Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue, and William Zabka star. Also, Joyce Hyser believes being a girl is why her story isn’t entered in a high school competition for a summer job at a newspaper, so she poses as a boy to get what she thinks she deserves in Lisa Gottlieb’s comedy JUST ONE OF THE GUYS.
