Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast and Together We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen, the host of the new podcast, Diff'rent Strokes To Move The World: An Unofficial Diff'rent Strokes Podcast. Today, I covered S1E1: Movin' In, which aired on November 3, 1978. In this episode Philip Drummond is a wealthy Manhattan industrialist who takes in Arnold and Willis Jackson, the two sons of his late housekeeper; Drummond is white and the boys are black. Arnold, age 8, is excited about the opportunity of a privileged life, but Willis, age 13, feels that Mr. Drummond is trying to buy their love with expensive gifts. I really enjoyed this episode and felt that this was a good first episode for a show, giving us just enough insight on the characters, to slowly over time form an attachment and keep us tuned in to see how they grow and learn over the course of time. We definitely learn that Arnold is the kid who loves to eat and he seems more accepting to change while Willis is the one who takes longer to warm up to someone, always on his guard and will be constantly questioning and challenging his new father's authority. Kimberly Drummond, Phillip's daughter will bring a nice feminine perspective to the boy's life. I loved how she was so open and receptive to the boys upon their arrival. Phillip Drummond, has a lot to learn from Arnold and Willis and he has a lot to teach them, we will see a lot of culture and class clashing at least in the first three seasons or so. And of course, Mrs. Garrett, who provides comedic relief for the show and a mother figure for the children. As it stands right now, this podcast will be once a month until I finish with the Silver Spoons Podcast in late summer of this year and then the Diff'rent Strokes Podcast will be twice a month. Join me next month when I cover S1E2: The Social Worker, which aired on November 10, 1978. In this episode a social worker investigates the boys' home life and tells Mr. Drummond that she believes black children belong in black households. When Drummond tells this to Mrs. Garrett while she is vacuuming the living room, Arnold overhears this and comes to the conclusion that he doesn't want them around anymore.

Hey Punky Peeps and welcome to another episode of Punky Power:An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast. Today I will be Season 1 reviewing Episode 5 Part 2 Gone Fishing which aired on October 14, 1984, during this episode Henry decides one Saturday afternoon to take Punky and her friends fishing. I also share some of my fishing memories and ice fishing stories with you. Enjoy! I gave this episode 3 out of 5 Brandon Tail Wags, one for being a mini episode, one because it reminds me of summer and also because of the heartwarming scene where Punky tells Henry she loves him. So Sweet and for Punky telling off her friends when they were being whiny and ungrateful. Next Week's Episode Question of the Week for Season 1 Episode 6 Take Me Out To The Ball Game: Did you ever see a baseball game and do you have a memorable moment like did you catch a ball in the stands, your favorite concession stand food, or a souvenir you bought. Or if you didn't go to a game did you play baseball in school and do you have any memorable moments? I know this is more than one question but I want to be as broad as possible.

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm continuing The Not So Great Of Season 8 (IMO) Series with S8E16: Air Jesse, which aired on February 7, 1995. In this episode, after being recruited by D.J. to play in a charity basketball game, Jesse gets tips from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Jesse CANNOT make a basket and knows nothing about basketball. What the heck! He played 2 on 2 with Danny, Joey, and Cousin Steve in Season 1. Did 7 years of knowing how to play just disappear? Kareem takes pity on Jesse, because apparently if you're a grown man you should automatically know how to play basketball. No way Nick Katsopolis wouldn't have taught his son how to play, he knows about baseball. He would know about this sport too. Jesse finds his magic sweet spot on the court that guarantees a basket every time the ball comes near it. He just wants his son's to be proud of him. Newsflash they already are, because you're their dad. Also in this episode as a side plot Stephanie makes a horrendous looking blouse in Home Ec and gives it to Becky after she assumes Becky loves it. This blouse is a hodge podge nightmare come to life, multiple buttons of various sizes here, there and everywhere. No article of clothing needs that many buttons. EVER! Becky trying to spare Steph's feelings with her honest opinion wears the blouse out of guilt to a charity basketball game (which Jesse and the boys are playing in) when a reporter/fan/stalker of Becky shows up to snap a photo for her scrap book or which ever paper she claims to work for, Becky's true feelings about the blouse come out when Becky realizes her picture wearing the blouse with be on every door step in San Francisco, I mean she's a co host of Wake Up San Francisco, she has an image to project and protect, viewers only see her in blazers and matching slacks or dresses, top of the line WUS approved apparel, heaven forbid she wear something that screams fashion police nightmare outside of work. Kimmy still 7 years later (See Season 1 Just One of The Guys Season 1 for example) cannot keep her hands off the players butts (she's their coach) apparently both DJ and Kimmy are hosting this basketball charity event to raise money for a cause of some kind. Crazy pants episode for sure. Join me next week when I cover the last episode in this Series, Full House S8E20: Up On The Roof, which aired on March 14, 1995. In this episode D.J., wanting to do an elaborate senior prank, lifts her principal's car onto the roof of the school using a crane; Becky offers to teach Michelle to cook. Have a great week everyone! I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode!

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen, here the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered the next episode in the Jesse & Joey Career Duo Series), Full House S2E13: Working Mothers, which aired on February 3, 1989. In this episode after Jesse and Joey are offered full time jobs at an ad agency, they struggle to decide if they can do the job and still be moms to the girls. I thought this was a good episode, Jesse and Joey win over a big client for their boss with an amazing advertising pitch complete with Joey wearing many hats and playing different characters with a jingle for Hurry Mart, so catchy. On the spot their boss gives them full time positions, it's all great until DJ and Stephanie wonder who will take care of them if all three of the guys are working. News Flash, they're working while you're in school, you'll see them in the evening. Good grief. The girls (DJ and Steph) act like they're becoming latchkey kids (which for some reason was the worst thing to be in the 80's and 90's by their attitude), I was a 90's latchkey kid from age 11 onward, it wasn't a big deal. The show Small Wonder did an episode about it. In the end the girls make the guys feel so guilty, they ask their boss if they can just work from home. He's cool with it. Michelle has developed a habit of locking people out of the house and a balcony in this episode. Self locking doors not a good thing. Join me next week when I cover the next episode Full House S4E3: The I.Q. Man, which aired on October 5, 1990. In this episode Jesse and Joey's latest client asks them to compromise their morals while shooting a commercial. Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the podcast episode!

Hey Full House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I'm kicking off the Best Friends Series with Full House S2E15: Pal Joey, which aired on February 17,1989. In this episode Joey and Danny recall the day they first met. I loved this episode, it was so cute. Especially seeing how Danny and Joey met, the kids they got to play them are absolutely adorable. The young man who played Danny, Phillip Glasser, I got the chance to meet him last Summer. He was so cool. He also voiced Fievel from An American Tail as well as the sequel and the short lived television series in the early 90's. Danny gets jealous of all the time that Joey and Jesse are spending together since they've become partners in advertising and Danny feels he's being edged out of Joey's life as his best friend. Danny was being so immature and Joey calls him on it and Danny decides since Joey can't read his mind and understand the reason he's upset than Joey and he never should have been friends to begin with. Good grief, Danny! Total Throwback Episode! So much unnecessary drama! Speaking of unnecessary drama, the side plot with Stephanie, Harry and DJ. Weird Love Triangle (at least from Steph's POV). DJ teaches Harry how to subtract and all of a sudden he's in love with her. Poor Steph is heartbroken. It's another switching rooms for an episode scenario. How it goes unnoticed with three adults in the house, only the writers can answer that question. It's up to Jesse and DJ to bring Steph and Harry back together. Join me next week when I cover the next episode in the series, Full House S3E9: Dr. Dare Rides Again, which aired on November 24, 1989. In this episode Comet, the family's new dog, eats Michelle's ice cream. Pete is an old pal that Jesse once knew. He visits the family when Danny and Becky are away on a talk show styling trip. 'Feedback' and some of Jesse's old ways pop up. Have a great week everyone!
