Costume Pity Party is the second half of the sixth episode of Teacher's Pet from Season 1. It was directed by Tim Björklund and written by Michael Price.

Plot[]

On Halloween, Leonard explains that he doesn't wear costumes anymore for the reason that he was bullied the previous year. Spot still wants to dress up, and he does. On the way to school, Scott's costume unravels and he walks up to the school wearing only his glasses. The kids think he's wearing a great dog costume, much to Leonard and Scott's relief. Trouble arises, however, when everyone is asked to take their costumes off.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • This is the first Holiday episode in the series.
  • Other options for costumes Scott presented to Leonard included the devil, vampire, cowboy, and a mummy.
  • Costumes the kids wore at school:
    • Leonard: Originally nothing, but later a mummy costume out of toiler paper. 
    • Scott: Wanted to go as Ferdinand Magellan, but once a twig ripped apart his costume, he went as himself (or, a "dog costume"); later went as a mummy during trick-or-treating
    • Ian: A desk with chewing gum on it
    • Leslie: A witch
    • Tyler: A werewolf
    • Chelsey: A superhero
    • Kelsey: A nurse
    • Teddy: Frankenstein
    • Dutch Calenza: An alien
  • Scott won first prize in the costume contest.
  • As opposed to candy, the class must eat sugar free substitutes. This would later become a plot point in the show's second Halloween episode, "The Tale of the Telltale Taffy," only with fruits and vegetables instead.
  • Scott has been attending Fala D. Roosevelt Elementary School for a month.
  • Dutch Calenza is implied to be a grown man who simply hasn't graduated grade school, as he mentions going as a disco star for Halloween in second grade during the 1970s.
  • Moral: Halloween is not about costumes, it’s about having fun.
