I liked this episode because it was very much a sincere one. In fact, it was one of those episodes that was quite nice of a change. I liked the comedy, the story, and the acting in this episode. My favorite aspects of this show had to be when Richie and Mother Winslow stuck up for Steve. I liked the fact that not everyone hated him in this show. The writing was decent, the comedy was good, and the plots were nice. Overall, it was an entertaining episode with much to like. In other words, it was very interesting and fun. Thank you.moreless

- Steve sucks the fish out of the fish out of the vacuum tube. There's really no way on earth he could manage to suck the fish out of the tube, especially without sucking out anything else. But in the name of comedy, this one slides. It's a great scene.
