Happy Sunday Night Everyone,\n\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast.\n\nS1E16: The Toy Wonder\n\nAirdate: January 22, 1983\n\nIn this episode Edward wants to hire a 12-year-old girl as a toy consultant, but she'll only take the job on one condition - that Ricky become her boyfriend.\n\nThis girl is a real piece of work. She\u2019s got Ricky in her sights and manipulates him into dating her in exchange for working for his father\u2019s company. She comes on strong, so Ricky decides thanks to Derek\u2019s advice to pretend he\u2019s into her until she signs his father\u2019s contract.\n\nWho\u2019s really scamming who here?\n\nEdwards company produces some weird toys?\n\nA horn hat for preteen joggers.\n\nA pogo stick chair.\n\nA stuffed rabbit that does nothing.\n\nAnd lastly a Tommy the Therapist doll programmed with a man\u2019s voice (so creepy).\n\nBarbara makes Ricky wear a sweatshirt that says Ricky loves Barbra on the front and a screen printing of her face on the back. (Gah)\n\nBarbra and Derek would be perfect for one another, they\u2019re both demanding and manipulating.\n\nNext week on the podcast in S1E17: Popcorn which aired on February 5, 1983 in this episode When his school orchestra needs to raise money for a trip to Washington, D.C., Ricky commits Edward to buying 1000 bags of popcorn, without his approval or knowledge - but when Edward declines, Ricky has to sell the popcorn at the mall.\n\nHave a great week!
