Larry Bird Presents an Oscar-Winning Film by Larry Bird (S01E17)

The Weavers introduce the Bird-Kersees to the Oscars. Larry is inspired, and now he wants to make his own Oscar-winning film. When mashing elements from past Oscar winners together fails to produce results, he decides to make a documentary about Max and Dick's school spelling bee. Meanwhile, Debbie wants to help Max train for the competition, but Marty doesn't want to push too hard and make him choke. Dick memorized the dictionary, so Max has a tough climb to beat him. But that makes Max an All-American underdog -- the perfect star of Larry's documentary. (ABC TV Network)
