Larry the high school graduate

Larry wants to get his high school equivalency diploma with help from Dick.

A good episode with funny scenes of Dick having a "conversation" with the Darryls without Larry. We also see Larry taking his exam "Jeopardy" style. In addition there is a subplot of Joanna upset over the inn only getting a 2 Maple Leaf rating in the Vermont Tour Guide (it used to have 3). An interesting moment is Tom Poston getting an ovation from the audience on his entrance.
