    Fuller House: S2E8: A Tangled Web and S2E9: Glazed And Confused

    Fuller House: S2E8: A Tangled Web and S2E9: Glazed And Confused

    Hey Fuller House Fans,

    Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

    Today, I covered S2E8: A Tangled Web, which aired on December 9, 2016.

    In this episode Jackson pet-sits Lola's tarantula, Dj works over time to help Max on a school project, and Jimmy makes a music video for Stephanie's latest hit.

    and S2E9: Glazed and Confused, which aired on December 9, 2016.

    In this episode with out-of-town trips planned for the adults, Uncle Joey delivers doughnuts -- and unexpected drama. Stephanie's nervous about singing on television.

    I thought these episodes where good not great, DJ in the first episode was just way over the top with Max's school project and I get it, that's who DJ is now, she's so far removed from the DJ we all grew up with to the point where she doesn't even feel like the same character anymore.

    In Glazed and Confused Joey was the worst what he put them all though with those day old gas station donuts. Shame on him!

    Matt came to the rescue and it was so sweet how he took care of the boys and DJ and Ramona. Show's much he cares for her and her family.

    I hope you enjoy the podcast episode and have a good weekend!

    Small Wonder: S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles & S3E16: For Sale By Robot

    Small Wonder: S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles & S3E16: For Sale By Robot

    Hey Everyone,

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

    Today, I covered not one, but two episodes to catch up for missing March's episode.

    S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles. which aired on January 23, 1988.

    In this episode the Lawsons plot to convince the Brindles to move.

    Brandon was such a dumb dumb in this episode. GAH!
    Not surprising, Bonnie is mentioned but not seen since the actress moved on to star in the show Valerie or Hogan Family or whatever they were calling that show at the time.

    This episode was kinda meh.

    and also I covered S3E16: For Sale By Robot, which aired on January 30, 1988.

    In this episode Vicki accidentally sells the Lawson's house.

    This was a bonkers crazy and hugely unrealistic episode (aren't they all) when it comes to selling a home, as well as the couple being what TV perceive as stereo typical Texans to be like.

    I was embarrassed and I'm not originally from Texas, I've only been here 3 years.

    Overall, I liked this episode more than the first.

    Hope you enjoy the episodes and I'll be back in June with two more.


    Have a great rest of April!

    Fuller House: S1E12: Save The Dates & S2E7 Girl Talk

    Fuller House: S1E12: Save The Dates & S2E7 Girl Talk

    Hey Fuller House Fans,

    Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast.

    Today, I covered S1E12 Save The Dates, which aired on February 26, 2016.

    In this episode D.J. has a date with her past that catches her off guard, and Kimmy's date with Fernando is nothing but surprises.

    Loved Steve's Bayside Letterman jacket, but the fake toupee has to go, like yesterday!

    Matt was adorable in this episode, but I will always be Team Steejay!

    and

    S2E7: Girl Talk, which aired on December 9, 2016.

    In this episode Kimmy hatches a plan to reunite and relaunch the girls' childhood band, Girl Talk; a vengeful video making fun of Ramona goes viral.

    I also complain a lot about how much I can't stand Gia, but if we have to have her to get Rocki, I'll deal with it. Popko is a giant jerk, I never could stand this guy, and this episode just cements that fact. I loved how Jackson stood up for Ramona.

    Join me next month when I cover S2E8: A Tangled Web, which aired December 9, 2016.

    In this episode Jackson pet-sits Lola's tarantula, Dj works over time to help Max on a school project, and Jimmy makes a music video for Stephanie's latest hit.

    and

    S2E9: Glazed and Confused, which aired December 9, 2016

    In this episode with out-of-town trips planned for the adults, Uncle Joey delivers doughnuts -- and unexpected drama. Stephanie's nervous about singing on television.

    Have a great rest of March and I'll be back in late April!

    Small Wonder S3E14 Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

    Small Wonder S3E14 Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

    Hey Everyone,

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

    Today, I covered S3E14: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, which aired on January 16, 1988.

    In this episode Vicki gives a bank computer data that Ted is dead.
    This creates issues for him and Joan because they can't use their credit cards to buy groceries, since Ted had been doing what we in today's world refer to online banking to pay our bills.

    He was 30 years ahead of his time here, however Vicki mishears Ted mention something about him being dead and Vicki inputs that data into the computer to cut off his credit because he's dead.

    He has to go to the bank to prove he's alive, which doesn't do anything, he doesn't show his ID, the the bank manager has no idea if he is who he says he is.

    Joan and Ted have a fake funeral to prove to the bank creator and other random people including Brandon and Bonnie (Edie McClurg's final episode) that he is very much alive.

    Jamie and Vicki have a small side plot where he's selling packets of Christmas Tree Seeds in January for $3.95.

    No one's buying that crap because no ones thinking of Christmas in January.

    Joan gets a Life Insurance check for $100,000, that of course they have to give back.

    Join me later this month when I cover S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles, which aired on January 23, 1988.

    In this episode the Lawsons plot to convince the Brindles to move.

    See ya'll later this month!

    Overall not a bad episode.

    Fuller House: S1E10: A Giant Leap and S1E11: Partnerships In The Night

    Hey Fuller House Fans,

    Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full Full House Fuller House Podcast.

    Today, I covered S1E10 A Giant Leap, which aired on February 26, 2016.

    In this episode things get out of hand when Stephanie's new boyfriend, Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants, invites everyone to one of his baseball games.

    and S1E11: Partnerships in the Night.

    In this episode Stephanie and Kimmy form a strange partnership, D.J.'s boss retires, and Max has Jackson and Ramona right where he wants them.

    I really enjoyed these episodes. I thought they were cute and funny.

    Join me next month for S1E12 Save The Dates.

    In this episode D.J. has a date with her past that catches her off guard, and Kimmy's date with Fernando is nothing but surprises.

    and S2E7: Girl Talk.

    Small Wonder: S3E13: Ooga Mooga

    Small Wonder: S3E13: Ooga Mooga

    Hey Everyone,

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

    Today, I covered S3E13: Ooga Mooga, which aired on December 7, 1987.

    In this episode The Lawsons perform at a lodge fund-raiser.

    This was the last episode of 1987.

    What a way to kick off 2024 with a shit-tastic episode, was I right , or was I right?

    It really sucked soo bad and Brandon Brindle's dumb a$$ self has the most to do with it.

    Add in that creepy 6 foot tall doll, then Joan and Vicki dressing up as said doll to recreate an act at the lodge fundraiser talent show.

    Ted and Brandon's boss is dumber than a box of rocks if he mistook Ted for Brandon.

    I knew Ted was originally meant for that position.

    Jamie's magic tricks were horrible, time for a new hobby Jamie or a get rich quick scheme, plus I thought Jamie seemed a little too old to do doing magic tricks, not that there's an age requirement on playing magic tricks, just seems kinda beneath him, ya know, it's Jamie. Unless he's charging people to watch him perform said magic tricks. I mean it did cost Brandon $10.

    Luckily the episode for February looks a lot more funner and enjoyable.

    Join me next month when I cover S3E14: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, which aired on January 16, 1988.

    The first episode of 1988.

    In this episode Vicki gives a bank computer data that Ted is dead.

    Have a great rest of January and see you next month.

Massapequa is on Long Island

Just started listening to the Growing Pains Pilot Episode and FYI, Massapequa *is* on Long Island.
Interestingly enough it’s also where Ross, Monica and Rachel from Friends grew up.
