Silver Spoons: S3E14: Special Friend

Hey Everyone,\n\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Together' We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast.\n\nToday, I covered S3E14: Special Friend, which aired on January 13, 1985.\n\nThis episode of Silver Spoons kinda threw me for a loop, I thought I might have guessed Mark\u2019s problem several times over, but nothing could have prepared me for the dark bomb Mark dropped on Rick.\n\nEdward\u2019s boring subplot with the Russian version of the Rubik\u2019s Cube Rick dubs \u201cThe Communist Block\u201d and Kate\u2019s mad pruning skills \u201cplant killer\u201d while listening to Dr. Scott\u2019s radio call in line did little for this episode.\n\nAlfonso was a jerk this episode, jealous that Rick is spending all his free time with Mark as a peer counselor. He didn\u2019t have to call Mark a nerd just because Rick wouldn\u2019t play basketball with him.\n\nI liked Mark and felt he was very reserved and he kept his problems and feelings close to himself.\n\nWatching Rick as a peer counselor was exhausting to witness. He over analyzed his friends and family and was looking at Mark like another notch in his belt of success stories. A Quick Fix if you will.\n\nJoin me next week for S3E15: What's Cookin?, which aired on January 27, 1985.\n\nIn this episode Rick's suggestion for a Stratton Flour Mills promotion lands him a job at his grandfather's company.\n\nIf you'd like to EMAIL the Podcast you can do so at:\n\nsilverspoonspodcast@gmail.com\n\nHave a great week everyone!
