Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. Today, I covered Silver Spoons S4E9: A Magnificent Obsession, which aired on November 24, 1985. In this episode Rick tries to win back his girlfriend when she leaves him for the captain of the football team. And I also covered S4E10: Judgement Day, which aired on December 1, 1985. In this episode when Edward lectures him about his poor geometry grade, Rick goes crazy trying to improve it. I really enjoyed both these episodes, but if I had to choose one over the other, I think I would have to go with A Magnificent Obsession, the songs they played and Rick's wardrobe montage in the beginning shows it's beginning to appeal to the teenage demographic hard. I feel the teenagers could identify with Rick going through what a teenager goes through worrying about self image, dating and parents pressuring their kids to get good grades especially when it comes to college. Join me next week when I cover S4E11: The Barbarians, which aired on December 8, 1985. In this episode Edward's father invites him and Ricky to join him at a lodge. And it is there that he unleashes his wild side. When one of his lodge mates plays a prank on him, he sets out to get back at him with Edward and Ricky's help. And S4E12: Three Musketeers (a.k.a. Freddy's (Corky Pigeon) last appearance on the show), which aired on December 8, 1986. In this episode Freddy writes a letter that catches the attention of Congressman Tip O'Neill.
