Small Wonder:: S3E4: Bride And Groom

Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E4: Bride and Groom, which aired on October 3, 1987. In this episode The boss's daughter sets her sights on Jamie. And here I thought Jessica was bad, here comes Karen who's set her sights on Jamie, she's found the man that she wants t spend the rest of her life with and they're only 12. She gives him what he first thinks is a promise ring or going steady ring, nope it's an engagement ring. Yikes, does this girl move fast! She even swears his fidelity until they're wed which won't be until they're legally old enough, so I'm guessing 18, which is 6 years away. I did like that Karen staked her claim on Jamie and told Jamie's love struck stalker Harriet to back off. Karen showing up early on a Saturday morning and waking Jamie up because she wanted to give him breakfast in bed and propose marriage is crazy. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when we meet her mother, who has her husband on such a tight leash it's cutting off the circulation to his balls. He can't stand up for himself to save his life. And to make matters worse, their young son Chip sets his sights on Vicki and plans to marry her which the mother is totally fine with. Ted and Joan on the other hand, have a few things to say, especially Ted. Even if this guy is his new boss, it's the wife that pulls the strings. She even mentions a VP position in Ted's future if he agrees to the tween's nuptials. Ted says nuts to that and get the hell out of my house. Harold, Ted's boss finally gets his balls out of the vice grip his wife has them in and tells his wife to suck an egg. No doubt he'll be paying for that later, I wouldn't put it past his wife to be a physical spouse abuser as well as emotional (from what we see in this episode). Overall, good episode though. Join me next month when I cover another SERIOUS Episode, S3E5: It's Ok To Say No, which on October 10, 1987. In this episode Jamie and Vicki help the police catch a drug dealer. Have a great week everyone and I'll back at the end of MAY.
