Hey there Wonderlings, Long time, no podcast. How have you been? Today I’ll be discussing two episodes of The Wonder Years S3E3: Wayne on Wheels and S3E4: Mom Wars. In S3E3: Wayne on Wheels which aired on October 24, 1989 Wayne finally gets his driver's license, but doesn't sit well with his new job of driving Kevin and Paul around. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating I’m giving it 4 out of 5 Flower Power Petals 1. Wayne entering the world of driving and showing us all what not to do. 2. Kevin’s stalker issues with this dream girl following her to the movies. That fact that he knows what her hair smells like is just creepy. 3. A near death experience brings Kevin and Wayne together if only for a moment and Wayne shows his human side. 4. For Jack and Norma laying down the law with Wayne and suspending his driving privileges. I knocked off two flower power petals for Wayne being a crazy driver and almost killing someone having no regard for anyone’s safety until he’s faced with his own mortality. Let’s move on to S3E4 Mom Wars which aired on October 31, 1989. Halloween. When Mom grows concerned about Kevin playing rough in touch football after school, Kevin has to make a choice. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving this episode 4 out of 5 flower power petals. 1. For the flashbacks opening the episode with Norma and Kevin revealing their closeness and happy times. 2. The song that plays at the end The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell during the flashbacks of young Norma and Kevin. The song really speaks to children being young and innocence and then progressing with age and pulling away from their parents as they gain independence. 3. The moment Kevin comes unhinged and Tells his mother to stop treating him like a baby and he can take care of himself. That look of hurt on Norma’s face broke my heart, but at least she he was being honest with her and stood his ground. She needs to cut the apron strings. I know he’s her last baby, but she has to learn to let go. 4. Paul looking out for Kevin and calling off the game turning into Norma 2.0 when he gets hurt. What a great friend. Join me Sunday October 15, when I discuss S3E5: On The Spot which aired on November 7, 1989. In this episode Kevin joins the school play just to get out of Gym class, while Winnie and Paul seem to take it very seriously. Winnie has problems with her performance, and Kevin unexpectedly helps her during the show. And S3E6: Odd Man Out which aired on November 14, 1989 in this episode When Kevin and Paul have a disagreement, they decide to find new best friends. Kevin starts hanging around with Doug Porter while Paul befriends Brady Ryland. Here are the Listener Questions for S3E5: On The Spot: Did you ever have stage fright when you were in a play and forgot your lines? If you were Winnie how would you handled the situation? And S3E6: Odd Man Out: Did you ever having a falling out with a friend and use a new friend to make your other friend jealous? Did you feel bad for Doug for how Kevin was treating him?
