Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Turkey Day Wonderlings, I’m Angela Bowen the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years A Wonder Years Podcast and today I’m bringing you a special holiday edition episode of The Wonder Years with S4E7: The Ties That Bind a Thanksgiving Themed Episode which aired on November 14, 11990. In this episode Money is tight around the Arnold household, and things don't look so good when the kitchen stove finally dies. Jack goes to NORCOM to ask for a raise, and gets it, as well as a promotion. With the new stove in the kitchen, it seems the Arnold's problems are over, until it becomes clear that Jack won't be back for Thanksgiving Dinner. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving this 5 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. I loved this episode so much especially the end. 1. For Jack going after that raise at his job and getting a promotion also bringing home flowers for Norma. 2. The appearance of Buster. Love that little guy. 3. Norma, the best tv mom cook of all time. How she held it together the best she could for her kids when she was down, missing Jack on Thanksgiving. 4. Paul’s minute performance tossing the football to Kevin as they talked about Jack traveling. 5. For Jack catching a flight home to be with his family if only for an hour on Thanksgiving. And his and Norma’s embrace at the airport. So sweet and beautiful. My Wonderling Words Of Wisdom: As you all sit down to your Turkey dinner tomorrow. Give thanks for not just each other but the many things you’ve been blessed with in life, whether it’s a roof over your head, food in your belly, clothes on your back, a job to provide for your family, your loved ones at your side, etc. Let us not forget those people who are currently fighting over seas for our freedom who can’t be with their families tomorrow, to the elderly who may not have family to spend the holiday with, and also to the people at the retail stores who stay open on Thanksgiving who have to give up their time with their families to be there for the shoppers and prepare for Black Friday. I’ll tell you what I’m thankful for, a amazing family, my husband who supports me, my job to pay my bills, my two fur kids Quinn and London and most of all to you my listeners for taking the time to listen and enjoy this podcast.
