I loved the mention of the Scholastic book fair. I used to get so excited when we would have them at school. And the mention of the girls fighting over Sweet Valley High and The Babysitter's Club books brought back so many memories. I read both but Sweet Valley High was my obsession.

The older son’s girlfriend looks like she’s 45 years old! I  like this show, I hope it sticks around. So sad about grandpa & his ex paramour the nun.
