Season 1, Episode 22: Vaudeville Vicki

One of my other favorite shows in the 80s was Mama’s Family.  That means I was really excited for the episode of Mama’s Family that Dick Christie was in, but I was super freaking excited for the episode of Small Wonder with Ken Berry.  This is the Ken Berry episode.  Also, two more episodes...

Season 1, Episode 21: The Reluctant Halfback

Jamie hates football this week.  That’s really all the pre-show thing I have to say.  I mean, there was an entire episode already dedicated to how much he loves football, but there’s also episodes where Ted and Vicki are nice to each other.  Syndicated sitcoms have no rules. This...

Season 1, Episode 17: Substitute Dad

Every week we get closer and closer to the end of the season, and I’m so excited.  It’s going to get better.  This is another episode I don’t remember, which seriously is odd.  It’s not like the last time I ran through the series was when I was a kid; it was, like, 2011.  Certain episodes...
