Silver Spoons: S5E6: Rick Moves Out and S5E7: Man to Man

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. Today, I covered S5E6: Rick Moves Out, which aired on October 20, 1986. In this episode Rick moves into the guest house for some privacy, but that's easier said than done when friends and strangers consider it home away from home. This episode was good, I mean teenage me enjoyed seeing Rick in just a towel and this episode had a surprising amount of guest stars who would later go on to be in popular sitcoms, Rob Stone (Kevin Owens, Mr. Belvedere), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie Spano, Saved By The Bell)and Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing, Friends). and S5E7: Man to Man, which aired on October 27, 1986. In this episode Edward doesn't feel like celebrating his birthday after Rick beats him at tennis for the first time. Kate struggles to learn Japanese for an overseas conference. Edward got on my nerves this episode, his being a sad sack because he turned 42 or 43 (I can't remember) he's acting like he's 70 , making old man jokes and he can't handle his son beating him at tennis. Poor Kate hiring a tutor to learn how to speak Japanese for a overseas conference turns out she's a horrible student and her instructor could care less as long as he gets paid. However the jokes on her later on, that makes this side plot less like a meaningless waste of time. Join me next week when I cover S5E8: Hey, Mrs. Robinson, which aired on November 3, 1986. In this episode Kate feels left out when her old college friend, now an editor for a rock magazine, seems to have more in common with Rick - which only gets worse when she and Edward start to worry that she's interested in more than Rick's friendship. and S5E9: Rick's Learning Problem, which aired on November 10, 1986. In this episode Rick tutors a star football player, who must pass a history test in order to play for the championship. Edward gets the flu, and is getting on Rick and Kate's nerves.
