Small Wonder: S1E5: Sibling Rivalry

Happy First Day Of Spring Everyone!

Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast.

Today, I'm covering S1E5: Sibling Rivalry, which aired on October 5, 1985

In this episode feeling neglected due to his parents' preoccupation with Vicky, Jamie decides to run away. But when he uses Vicky to avoid contact with his parents, the family gets a scare.

Here's what I learned from this episode:

The Lawson’s live in Southern California

Harriet mentions that she can be threatened at home instead of by Jamie

What is Harriet’s home life like?

Must be pretty bad if she comes over twice a day to bug Jamie and the Lawson’s.

Ted hates to lose at chess and will go so far as to reprogram Vicki to make mistakes and she still beats him in 4 moves. Is that possible in chess?

Do houses in Southern Cali not have basements?

Red butter on popcorn at the movies in honor of a horror movie marathon sounds like a great promotion from a theater.

Would you eat chili dogs for breakfast?

I'll be back in April with new episodes of the Small Wonder Podcast.

Next up S1E6: Spielberg Jr., which aired on October 12, 1985.

In this episode Jamie turns into a dictator when he puts himself in charge of his school project. But best friend Reggie and Jamie's parents won't let him continue without being taught a lesson in etiquette.
