That's Joey

Joey's father wants a new couch and is still keen on replacing the living‑room sofa, but Joey is attached to the existing piece, which he affectionately calls Pappy. He firmly resists the idea of a new couch, preferring to keep Pappy.

Saving Pappy is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls under the general category of a programme and is classified within the episode genre, offering a concise, self‑contained story rather than a multi‑part series. The central storyline revolves around a simple household disagreement. Joey’s father is keen to replace the family’s current couch with a newer model, believing it will improve their living space. In contrast, Joey is attached to the existing piece of furniture, which he affectionately refers to as “Pappy.” Joey’s fondness for the old couch goes beyond mere comfort; he has given it a personal nickname, signalling a deeper sentimental value. This attachment creates a clear divide between his wishes and his father’s plans, setting up the episode’s primary tension. The narrative stays focused on this single point of conflict, highlighting how a seemingly trivial object can hold significant meaning for a child. The episode therefore centres on the clash of perspectives: a parent’s practical desire for an upgrade versus a child’s emotional bond with a familiar item. The story’s brevity ensures that the audience sees the entire dispute unfold within the limited runtime, keeping the focus tightly on Joey’s affection for “Pappy” and his father’s intention to bring in a new couch.
