Hey there Everybody, Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. Today, I'm covering 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. This episode for me was not so much a let down, but just dull, it was nothing but fighting, fighting, fighting from the get go. Edward fighting with his father, Edward arguing with Kate and Grandfather Stratton jumping in to add his two cents. Gah, poor Ricky is doing everything he can to just enjoy his 13th birthday. His first birthday he's celebrating with his father. His birthday wish is for his dad and grandfather and Kate to not fight for one night. He should have gotten Jim Carrey's kid from Liar, Liar to make the wish. Next week on the podcast I cover S1E9: the Sounds Of Silence, which aired on December 17, 1983. In this episode Ricky is frustrated by his lack of improvement as a musician in the school orchestra, and after a disastrous humiliation at their concert, he turns to Edward for advice on how to reach his goals. Have a great week everyone!
