This was an episode that actually put tears in my eyes.

Joey Lawrence is at his best displaying a sense of anger and deep sadness. He doesn't cry but you see in the upset look in his eyes that he's crying on the inside and the emotional weight he is now carring. We then look into his past, two versions of his younger self played by Joey Lawrence's real life brother's of course. This make the weight all the more heavier just seeing how long his mom missed each and every game, making one too many lame excuses. There even some emotion from the second childhood version of Joey, we easily see that he is not really buying into his mom's excuse as he did and that he's only hiding his pain by acting happy. Then there comes a emotional final conversation which both Joey and his mom share and he disowns his own mom for good. This show took the theme on child neglect maturely showing how it can sever relations. Watching a child's ballgame is always the most important game not to miss, because it means the world for a child. A world that just passed by Joey's negligant mom.
