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 the final two episodes of Season 3, S3E23 Safety First, which aired on May 14, 1988. In this episode Brandon claims injury from Vicki's Heimlich maneuver. I had high hopes for this episode especially when Joan told the class they would learn the techniques of performing life saving procedures in class like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. We didn't see any of these demonstrated by the students instead we get a lame play about accidents in the home acted out by Reggie, Vicki and Harriet even though she doesn't go to their school but got special permission from her school to participate in the play. and S3E24: When You Hear The Beep, which aired on May 21, 1988. In this episode Jamie starts an answering service for his friends. After most of Jamie's classmates gets grounded from using the phone he decides to charge the kids for an answering service that he and Vicki create. I hope you enjoy these two episodes and I'll be diving into Season 4 in January 2025.

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Well Full House and Fuller House Fans, we've made it to the end of Fuller House and that means the end of a 5 year journey of covering both shows, Full House and it's continuation show Fuller House. I've had a fun time going down memory lane with this show and revisiting Fuller House. I hope you all enjoyed listening to the podcast and go back and revisit the episodes in the future. Today, I covered S5E17: Something Borrowed, which aired on June 2, 2020. In this episode It's the week before the wedding. The guys go out for their stag party while Kimmy, DJ and Stephanie look for something old and something borrowed for their wedding. This was such a sweet and heartwarming episode with a lot of callbacks to the OG show Full House. Thank you all for listening! Stay tuned for a different form of Full House Podcast content coming sometime in 2025.

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S5E15 Be Yourself, Free Yourself, which aired on June 2, 2020. In this episode Kimmy causes trouble for DJ and Matt when she fills in for their ill receptionist at the vet clinic. Steph feels guilty when she realizes Jimmy has been more considerate than she has lately. Jesse is on a mission to find out who bit his daughter, Pamela, at school. I thought this episode was kind of weaksauce. It was kinda just ok for me. and I also covered S5E16: The Nearlywed Game, in this episode The kids get together to host a game show, The Nearlywed Game, that they live stream. It tests how well the couples know each other - and what they really love about each other. I'd have to say this episode is a Season 5 favorite for me and aside from the holiday episodes that I re-watch yearly this one is also on occasion in rotation from time to time, because it's so fun and enjoyable to watch. Both episodes were adorable and sweet. I hope you enjoy them and have a great holiday!

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S5E8: Five Dates With Kimmy Gibbler, which aired on December 6, 2019. In this episode Ramona introduces Rocki to Ethan and she suspects that they already know each other, Lisa Loeb turns up in DJ and Matt's veterinary clinic which draws Steph to get Lisa to listen to a song she wrote. This was a funny and cute episode. Love Steph's song and also Ethan and Rocki pretending that they don't know each other and they used to hang out. I also covered S5E11: Three Weddings and a Musical, which aired on June 2, 2020. In this episode while Steve babysits, DJ, Steph and Kimmy head to a wedding expo and wind up walking the runway. Jackson and Ramona audition for the school play. The wedding dresses were horrible looking (IMO), triple weddings/triple the drama, but I loved the plot with Jackson and Ramona and the musical, Jackson sounding like Josh Groban. Both episodes were adorable and sweet. I hope you enjoy them and have a great holiday!

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S5E4: Mom's Night Out, which aired on December 6, 2019. In this episode Matt and Gia need DJ to notarize their marriage license even though Rocki objects, Gia gets invited to have a Mom's Night Out with Steph, DJ and Kimmy, the guys have a Dudes Night In, while the girls are out. I enjoyed the guys night in, more than the girls night out, I'm not into dance offs and or dancing with the stars. Steve, Matt and Fernando and Jimmy hanging out was so fun. and I also covered S5E5: Ready Player Fuller. In this episode, DJ and Jackson bond through a video game which was DJ's secret until a face to face playoff and the grand reopening of Uncle Monty's runs into a bunch of snags. I really enjoyed both these episodes, the family coming together to help have a good grand re-opening for Uncle Monty's and DJ and Jackson spending time together, even if she's pretending to be another gamer to get closer and bond with her son. So sweet. I hope you enjoy the podcast episodes and have a great week!

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today, I covered S5E2: Hale's Kitchen, which aired on December 6, 2019. In this episode DJ and Steve take a cooking class. Meanwhile, Stephanie has a hard time keeping a promise to Max. Ramona falls for the cute food delivery guy. I thought this was such a fun episode, we get to meet Ethan, such a sweetie who falls for Ramona, and Stephanie and Max bonding time when she brings the Renaissance fair to Max when she can't take him to the actual one, due to her taking care of baby Danielle. DJ super got on my nerves and annoyed me this episode, her competitiveness was next level to the point where I think even Steve had had enough of her. and also I covered S5E3: Family Business, in this episode, Jackson accidentally sends a bad post to Ramona's new boyfriend from her phone, Fernando has a crisis at the start of the Formula One Season after his retirement, Max is trying to do his first high dive. Let me correct this Jackson/Ethan/Ramona plot. Ramona accidently likes one of Ethan's old Instagram pics on her phone and now she thinks Ethan is going to find her a bit on the stalkerish side for scrolling through and liking his old IG posts. Jackson makes matters worse by commenting on it. Honestly Ethan is just confused that she liked one of his childhood photos and then unliked it, which sent him a notification. He's a totally super chill dude. The start of the family buying Uncle Monty's Sub Sandwich Imporium. Season 5 has honestly gotta be one of my favorite Seasons of the show. It's so fun to see how everyone has evolved since Season 1. So much has happened in that time. I hope you all enjoy the podcast episodes and have a great weekend!

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S3E21: The Rock Band, which aired on April 30, 1988. In this episode Jamie forms a rock band; Ida Mae has amnesia. The Rock Band part of the episode was good, Ida Mae and her quick and over in less than 5 minute amnesia spell was crap. I don't hate Ida Mae on a Bonnie Brindle level yet, but we'll see come Season 4, she already getting to Brandon Brindle level of annoyance and we just met her in the last episode. and S3E22: Book-It, which aired on May 7, 1988. In this episode Jamie avoids reading a book for a school assignment. I really enjoyed this episode, mainly because I'm such a bookworm and I never got to do the Book-It Program in school. Have a great weekend everyone and I hope you enjoy the podcast episodes.

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today I covered, S3E18: Here Comes The Sun, which aired on December 22, 2017. In this episode the gang tries to get their magic back with an 80s themed party and celebrated the 30th Dadiversary with Danny, Joey and Jesse as well as a major surprise from Kimmy. We also have a surprise guest star. This was a fun and sweet way to wrap up Season 3 and get us pumped up for Season 4. Speaking of Season 4, I also cover S4E2: The Big Night, which aired on The pressure is on for DJ and Steve to have the perfect date. Stephanie puts a hold on Kimmy and Fernando from being affectionate. Jackson struggles with Rocki on whether they are boyfriend and girlfriend or not. I really enjoy DJ/Steve 2.0 and Jackson and Rocki are so adorable together. I love how she makes him work for their relationship. She's not about labels and he's all about define the relationship. Kimmy/Fernando/Stephanie/Jimmy sweet/cute duos and crazy schemes and shenanigans. I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episodes! Have a great weekend!

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I covered, S3E19: I'll Drink To That, which aired on February 20, 1988. In this episode, due to Vicki's mishandling of terms, Child Services Officer Mrs. Fernwald thinks Ted is an alcoholic and threatens to take Vicki away unless he joins AA. I thought this episode was just ok, I wish it had more meat to the episode like an after school special type simular to what we got in Season 2's Chewed Out episode. I just feel so much more could have been done to make this a better episode, raise the stakes a little bit. Mrs. Fernwald, the woman who is too obsessed with this family, she's practically a stalker, going so far to barge into their home on an unannounced visit because she happened to just be in the neighborhood and pawing through the Lawson's trash looking for evidence to comdemn the Lawson's as unfit parents. Is she like this with every family who's case she's assigned? If I were them I'd have the DCFS do an investigation on her, if she even works there. Who really knows? and I also covered S3E20: Big J, the D.J., which aired on February 27, 1988. In this episode Vicki imitates Lyle Alzado to help auditioning Jamie. This was a kinda fun episode, granted we are introduced to a new character Ida Mae, Brandon's sister. She's just annoying, not Brindle level, but I guess they needed someone to replace Bonnie who is apparently away taking care of her mother for a week. Is this how they write her out of the show, and then they just extend her stay away indefinitely? I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episodes and I'll be back with two more soon. Have a great weekend!

Stephanie and Kimmy deal with a demanding client. I thought this episode was fun and enjoyable. and I also covered S3E17: Fullers in a Fog. In this episode D.J. preps for an important date, while Danny, Joey, and Jesse celebrate their 30 year "Dadiversary". I loved the throwback to Full House's Pilot Episode. It was also cute and memorable. I hope you enjoy the podcast episode!

Today I covered, S3E11: Troller Coaster which aired on December 22, 2017. In this episode Ramona reconsiders her future, while Max tempts fate on the "Troller Coaster".

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

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today I covered S3E17: Ronald McDonald House, which aired on February 6, 1988. In this episode Jamie stages a play to help a boy cope with leukemia. I remember when I finished Season 2 and I was so excited for this episode, now that I've seen it, I can say I was a little let down. I guess I was hoping for a little more after school special feel with a splash of emotion like the Season 2 Premiere episode Chewed Out. I guess I wanted more from this episode and it kind of went cornball-ish towards the end. The second episode I covered S3E18: The Russians Are Coming, which aired on February 13, 1988. In this episode Vicki competes with a Soviet robot. I gotta say this was fun and entertaining episode. It really helped pick my spirits up from the last episode. I guess Ted's not the only one who can build a child robot. I was floored when I discovered the reveal, I was expecting Season 1 Harriet's robot, more plastic less flesh like material. I hope you enjoy the Podcast Episode and I'll see you in September with the next two as we make our way to the end of Season 3.

Hey Fuller House Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Oh Mylanta Holy Chalupas: An Unofficial Full House Fuller House Podcast. Today I covered, S3E2: Break A Leg, which aired on September 22, 2017.

In this episode Fernando converts Kimmy's old house into an exact replica of her childhood, which DJ, Stephanie and Kimmy visit while visiting Uncle Jesse babysits all the kids. I liked these two episodes, I thought they were funny and cute. Join me next month when I cover S3E7: Say Yes To The Dress.

Stephanie feels left out when she's not invited to a movie premier that features one of her songs. and S3E9: Maybe Baby, in this episode, Aunt Becky shows up to spend the day with Stephanie and Joey shows up with his children, who are little terrors all over the house.

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!

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!
