The Wonder Years: S3E21: Cocoa And Sympathy

Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast

Hey Wonderlings, I’m Angela Bowen the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast. Let’s waste no time jumping in to this Paul/Norma focused episode in S3E21 Cocoa and Sympathy which aired on May 1, 1990. In this episode When Paul is voted "Brainiest" on this years Lisa Berlini Poll, he goes through some self esteem problems. That is until Kevin's mom tries to help Paul's confidence and in return Paul develops a crush on Kevin's mom. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving it 3 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. 1. For Norma cheering Paul up after he is voted Brainiest on the Lisa Berlini Poll. She sure knows how to cheer someone up. 2. I loved seeing Jack not know how to cook a frozen pizza and then Paul gives him advice. 3. For the ending when Kevin and Norma enjoy hot chocolate and have a conversation about her. Paul telling Kevin all this stuff he didn’t know about his mom the radio commercial, the ex boyfriend she almost married etc leads Kevin to take an interest in who his mom was and is. I knocked two Flower Power Petals off for The uncomfortable close up shots of the girls playing field hockey (I noticed Winnie wasn’t among them, speaking of Winnie would Kevin have chosen her for best smile or not even included her on the list?) And for Doug Porter mentioned how this one girl shaves her legs and drooling over the thought. How does he know she shaves her legs then Paul mentions Norma and how she should go on the list for best smile which leads to Doug creepily adding how she shaves her legs too. That boy, yikes, just yikes.
