Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. Today, I'm talking about S1E14: The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, which aired on January 8, 1983. In this episode after Derek saves Ricky's life, he pressures Ricky to find him a date for a co-ed party. But when Ricky can't find any girls who are willing, he feels obliged to pose as Derek's date. In this episode we also meet some new characters, J.T. and Freddy who are some of Ricky's other friends. To be honest I think J.T. is worse than Derek when it comes to the ladies. J.T. shows the boys his love potion that comes in a moonshine jug and has some sort of soda, possibly alcohol (as he mentions it tastes better if you mix it with Dr. Pepper or some other soda)Tabasco Sauce and a Vitamin E tablet. He is a future date raper. This kid. Freddy is the lap dog,yes man of the group of boys. He has no self confidence, he even gives J.T. 10 dollars and is fine when J.T. tells him he plans to never pay him back. Freddy even tells him, that's a good idea. Good grief Freddy,could you be any more pathetic. I thought it was funny how we see the list of girls that Ricky calls and the reject Derek as a possible date. My name is among the list of girls that have been crossed out. Next week we get the return of Ox from S1E3 Me and Mr. T in the episode S1E15: Twelve Angry Kids, which aired on January 15, 1983. In this episode after Ricky gets in a fight with Ox, he and Edward are sued for a false whiplash claim. Leonard and Ricky convince the judge that the case be presented to a jury of peers - other kids. Why are we getting this kid again. Ricky and the kids already defeated him earlier. It's too early in the show's run to have repeat storylines. Have a great week everyone!
