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 S5E21: Pardon My French, which aired on February 27, 1987.\n\nIn this episode Grandfather Stratton returns from France, surprising everyone with his much younger fianc\xe9e.\n\nI liked this episode, I was a little suspicious of Grandfather Stratton's fianc\xe9e's intentions at first, but turns out the one who had the real problem and came off as a giant jerk to the point of being downright aggravating was Edward. He was incredibly insulting to Jacqueline.\n\nClaiming French women are all the same, labeling her a gold digger.\n\nThankfully Edward's father corrects him and puts him in his place.\n\nI loved the scene between Jacqueline and Rick as she gives him advice on how to handle his now ex girlfriend Chrissy and win her back.\n\nand\n\nS5E22: Educating Rick, which aired on March 2, 1987.\n\nIn this episode Disappointed by Rick's interest in party schools, Edward steers him toward a more rigorous all-male college. But when Rick and Brad attend an open-house weekend, they have a hard time restraining their interest in the local female students.\n\nEdward really got in my craw this episode, trying to bribe his son with a car just so he'll decide to go to an all male college instead of a party school.\n\nThis episode was also directed by Joel Higgins (Edward Stratton the 3rd). \n\nI'd say he did a good job.\n\nJoin me next week for the final two episodes of Silver Spoons, S5E23: Edward's Big Adventure, which aired on March 3, 1987.\n\nIn this episode Bored by being left home alone, Edward ventures out to a bar he used to frequent in college, but loses his wallet while dealing with a pool shark.\n\nand\n\nS5E24: Let It Snow, Let It Snow, which aired on March 4, 1987.\n\nIn this episode Kate and Edward try to have a romantic weekend in the snow, but Rick, Alfonso, Brad and Dexter spoil their plans. Getting time alone is impossible, especially when a blizzard hits their cabin.\n\nHave a great week everyone and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.\n\nTo EMAIL The Podcast Go To:\n\nsilverspoonspodcast@gmail.com
