Small Wonder: S3E17 Ronald McDonald House & S3E18: The Russians Are Coming

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 S3E17: Ronald McDonald House, which aired on February 6, 1988. In this episode Jamie stages a play to help a boy cope with leukemia. I remember when I finished Season 2 and I was so excited for this episode, now that I've seen it, I can say I was a little let down. I guess I was hoping for a little more after school special feel with a splash of emotion like the Season 2 Premiere episode Chewed Out. I guess I wanted more from this episode and it kind of went cornball-ish towards the end. The second episode I covered S3E18: The Russians Are Coming, which aired on February 13, 1988. In this episode Vicki competes with a Soviet robot. I gotta say this was fun and entertaining episode. It really helped pick my spirits up from the last episode. I guess Ted's not the only one who can build a child robot. I was floored when I discovered the reveal, I was expecting Season 1 Harriet's robot, more plastic less flesh like material. I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode and I'll see you in September with the next two as we make our way to the end of Season 3.
