Happy Sunday Everyone! Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna ind Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. Today, I’m covering S2E7: Menudo Madness which aired on December 3, 1983. In this episode to impress a girl and get her to attend his party, Ricky promises her that the music group Menudo will be there - leaving only the small detail of getting them to show up. Also in this episode Rick’s on the debate team and he’s all for lowering the driving age to 14. Here’s his reasoning: Ricky Stratton: If we lower the driving age to 14, it'll cut down on the time parents spend in carpools - which will stimulate the economy, thus stopping the insidious spread of communism. I conclude with the fervent hope that I'll never have to say: "Thank you, comrades." All his reasons or points make zero sense and wouldn’t hold up in a real debate. Also Menudo has a crazed fan who wants specifically Miguel to have her babies. This girl clearly doesn’t know how reproduction works. She even goes so far as to steal an elderly hotel security guard’s clothes to sneak into their room and at one point is seen outside their window on a ledge confessing her undying love to Miguel. She is one step away from Kathy Bates “I’m your No. 1 Fan” Miserying him. We get a song and dance from Edward and Kate as they try to stop the kids from leaving the party when Menudo is two hours late. We get to meet Foobie a robot created by one of Edward’s toy inventors of Eddie’s Toys Company, who’s got the hots for Kate. Edward even encourages Kate to kiss Foobie. This just entices Foobie to chase after her. I thought Edward was going to introduce Kate to Foobie not just as his secretary but also his girlfriend. Where’s the continuity, writers? If Edward and Kate are getting married in Season 3 (Spoiler Alert), let’s see more cutesy couple-y moments. I mean the singing and dancing was cute. Starting this week I'm covering two episodes of Silver Spoons a week from now until the middle of May. Later this week join me in wishing Ricky Stratton a Happy 13th Birthday in S2E8: Happy Birthday, which aired on December 10, 1983. In this episode It's Ricky's 13th birthday, and his first with his father. After first thinking his dad has forgotten his birthday, he wishes for the impossible - which is for Kate, his dad and his grandfather to all get along.
