Title card

"Mansion Madness" is the sixth episode (part one) of The Gary Coleman Show season one. It aired on October 23, 1982 on NBC. It was written by Janis Diamond, and voice directed by Gordon Hunt.

Lydia, clearly losing her mind, lets the klutzy Bartholomew stay in her house when he has a cold, while she is out at the movies. Of course, he makes a big mess, which Andy helps him clear up.

Memorable quotes

Bartholomew: I'm here to take you to the movies, Lydia.
Lydia: How nice, a threesome. Me, you, and your cold.
