Season 1, Episode 6: Adventures in Fine Dining (1991)
Mark (Taran Noah Smith), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan) have caused such a scene at a pizza parlor that they got the whole family kicked out. Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) bets Jill (Patricia Richardson) that he can teach the boys some table manners - and if he fails, he'll have to go to the opera with her for an entire year.
Tim struggles to instill some order and discipline with his rambunctuous boys, but to no avail. Finally, Wilson (Earl Hindman) inspires Tim to have the boys chase him around the yard as he carries that night's raw chicken, in an attempt to teach them to respect food and mealtimes as the product of a hunt, as the cavemen once did. By dinner time, the boys are too tuckered out to be rowdy - and Jill lets Tim count this one as a win.
