Eight Is Enough (1977)

S2E5 Mortgage Burnin' Blues

Tom hosts a party to commemorate paying off the mortgage on the Bradford house. Things take a turn when the kids get involved in a brawl after Susan punches a heckler during David and Tommy's performance, leading to Tom having to remortgage the house to cover the damages, as seven of his children end up arrested after the nightclub scuffle. Meanwhile, David anxiously awaits the results of his contractor's exam. Nicholas, feeling overlooked, can't shake the feeling of being excluded since he wasn't arrested.
