Small Wonder: S3E12: The Bank Job

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 S3E12: The Bank Job, which aired on November 28, 1987. In this episode, Harriet, Jamie and Vicki foil a bank robber. As far as episodes go, this one was kinda weak sauce. Diff'rent Strokes did a much better episode on a bank robbery back in the early 80's. Aside from the bank robbery, which btw's took place when there was less than 10 minutes left in the episode, so ya know, no real high stakes. Just a man dressed as a woman, who looks like he's never held a gun before, which wasn't surprising considering he told the bank teller, he was new at the whole stick up situation. Aside from that, the side plot of Ted and Brandon getting measles was total BS, the writers should have just led with the chicken pox like on Full House Season 1. At least we learn that Jamie had his MMR Vac. Join me in January when I cover what I feel will be a crap episode S3E13: Ooga Mooga, which aired on December 5, 1987. In this episode the Lawsons perform at a lodge fund-raiser. What is the hoopla - poopla garbage excuse for an episode! Have a great rest of 2023 and I'll see ya next month.
