Hey there Wonderlings, How’s it going? Let’s jump right into the first of these two episodes 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. I’m giving it 5 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. 1. For Norma supporting the arts and suggesting the family goes to the play. The arts are important in school. 2. For Winnie giving an amazing performance and it’s so amazing it made her father move back home 3. For Kevin although he was not being the greatest friend supporting Winnie and Paul in joining the play, he came around in the end when Winnie needed him the most. 4. For Mr. Webber the dramatic arts teacher for him not being a tyrant and helping the kids to understand their roles better and not screaming at them. He didn’t make anyone cry or run out of the room. His guidance helped the kids put on a great performance. I took off one Flower Power Petal for Paul being the demanding tyrant after Kevin gave up his cushy job as spotlight operator and Paul lording over him shouting demands. Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Encourage your friends when they try out for something new, don’t suggest they quit when it gets too hard and they want to give up. Tell them to push through it and that they’re doing a great job. S3E6: Odd Man Out that 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. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving it 4 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. 1. For Kevin and Paul being the best of friends hanging out in a tent playing Mad Libs and Truth or Dare then we see the friendship unravel as Kevin picks apart Paul during an Adams Family episode and then does the unthinkable when a baseball card trade doesn’t go according to Kevin’s liking. 2. Kevin and Paul finding other friends to make each other jealous as was my understanding or at least in Kevin’s case basically using poor Doug. 3. Winnie being the go between for the two friends trying to patch things up. The Hermione to Harry and Ron. 4. Kevin realizing the errors of his ways and finding himself being the odd man out, but patching things up with Paul and seeing Doug better off with a true best friend like Brady. I knocked off one flower power petal because Kevin was a major ass this whole episode at least until the end. Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Look we all know in all friendships there are going to be ups and downs. That’s just life. But there are lines we never cross, words we never say because sometimes we can’t always take it back. Things get in the way and people sometimes change as they get older are maybe you don’t see eye to eye like you used to. If you feel the friendship going stale, take time apart, you don’t have to do everything together, make other friends too. The friendship will still be there. Sometime you just have to make adjustments, sacrifices and compromise like all good relationships, it takes work. Join me October 29 when I review S3E7 The Family Car In this episode The Arnold Family's car seems to be on it's last legs, but Dad just can't bring himself around to buy a new car for the family. In S310: Rock n’ Roll New student Larry Beeman turns Kevin on to the wonders of rock and roll. Pretty soon, Kevin purchases his own guitar and is rocking with Larry and his band.
