My 9yo doesnt know what wheel of fortune is or pat sajak. I am sure none of her friends do either.  That wasn't a shock. 

I am sad. Sad I am.

I liked the other episodes of the season a lot more than this one.

It certainly had its moments (like Melissa and Sweet Cheeks's costumes), but a lot of it was Janine and Gregory hemming and hawing about whether people would get their costumes. There was never any question in my mind that they would stick with them and be true to themselves, despite no one else appreciating it.

And the "Barbara reels because she can't do her tradition" plot was done better in the season one finale at the zoo, when she realized that the lizard she showed to her class every year had been put out to pasture. I allso agree that it was very out-of-character for her to tell the kids to lie to their parents.

 

I think Barbara can't handle losing her authority at school. When the show started Janine was needy and Ava was incompetent and she could do whatever she wanted. They matured and Barbara is just like the other teachers and she hates it.
