Cheer Up episode was very insensitive to people hurt in the hospital.
crosswalkx13 April 2022
I remember watching this Dennis the Menace episode "Cheer Up". And it was awful, the episode Cheer Up starts off with Dennis leaving his skateboard on the porch and it causes George Wilson to slip on the skateboard and crash and hurt himself.

Later on, Mr. Wilson is laid up bandaged in the hospital. Dennis and his parents Henry and Alice visit him in the hospital, but they leave Dennis alone with Mr. Wilson in the bed which was a big mistake. Seriously are you kidding me. I was mad that his parents left Dennis alone with Mr. Wilson with no supervision. Dennis then takes the remote but it's for the bed recliner Mr. Wilson is in and it tortures Mr. Wilson in the process hurting him further.

The woman nurse comes in and Dennis lies to her about getting along with Wilson, and the Nurse allows for Dennis to wheelchair Wilson and they get into a dangerous wheelchair race with an elder woman in the hospital and the worst part is they knock over people and Mr. Wilsons injured foot hits the door and gets crushed in the elevator and thrown in the bed. Are you kidding me? It's against the rules to race in the hospital and I didn't like Dennis knocking people over in the halls. The ending was awful as it shows Mr. Wilson getting tortured in the bed recliner which made me very angry to watch. The nurse wasn't very helpful and she should've been fired from her job for not taking care of Mr. Wilson and Dennis parents should've been fined for injuries against Wilson medical payments.

This was the worst episode ever. I'm ashamed of Hank Ketcham for allowing this controversial disrespectful insensitive episode about a joke torturing people in pain at the hospital and making them suffer like Mr. Wilson. Worst of all Dennis parents Henry and Alice neglect Dennis and leaves him alone with Mr. Wilson still laid up which is a red flag. The hospital would've called security and taken Dennis out of the room, but they didn't. Dennis has very bad parents who neglect him.

I hope this insensitive Dennis the Menace episode becomes banned and pulled from TV or DVD releases or streaming and hopefully lost forever. Hank Ketcham owes an apology for this very bad kids episode.
