"Holiday for Henpecked Husbands" (also known as "Goofy Takes a Holiday") is an animated episode of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
Synopsis[]
Goofy wants to go out to play golf, but his wife keeps him busy with the spring cleaning, much to his chagrin. As he toils, Peter Pan Goofy, the Spirit of Imagination, appears and continuously gets Goofy to daydream about a more adventurous life to make his labors more fun, all set to footage of some of his cartoons.
Eventually, his wife tells him that if he won't get his work done, he might as well play golf. But by the time Goofy finally gets outside, it's already nighttime. Goofy takes his anger out on Peter Pan Goofy.

Trivia[]
- This episode was originally intended to be part of Walt Disney Presents on ABC, as it had original Walt Disney Presents titles designed for it. However it was withheld from distribution until after the show had moved over to NBC. The Walt Disney Presents titles were used for this program when it aired (in black-and-white) on the American Forces Radio and Television Service.
- In 1990, footage of this program was reused, with redubbed dialogue, for a special on The Disney Channel called Goofy's Guide to Success.
- Some of the shorts are altered somewhat:
- Hello Aloha is trimmed slightly, removing the opening scene and beginning with Goofy on the island. In addition, the message-in-a-bottle Goofy receives is different.
- Only the second half of How to Play Baseball is shown, starting with the shot of the radio announcing the World Series game.
