Aaron's Way

This hour-long NBC series about an Amish family who moves from Pennsylvania to the wine country of Northern California starred Merlin Olsen, Jessica Walter and Samantha Mathis.

In Jeff’s episode, written years before his play Visiting Mr. Green, the Amish family convinces the Californians to move their elderly, irascible Uncle Jack into their home. After about a week, everyone realizes it wasn’t such a great idea.
