Hey! That looks like a cool show!
Little Archie wants to take Veronica out, but his dad will ground him if he has a bad report card. He fakes illness to leave before they're handed out, but Reggie "helpfully" offers to personally deliver at Little Archie's home. Both boys are shocked when Mr. Andrews is thrilled at the grades, and even gives him extra money for the date. It turns out that Little Archie's card has been switched with Dilton's.
