Episode Summary

Marcia comes home from school in a daydream and the rest of the family can't figure out her problem. It seems Marcia has a crush on a boy who doesn't even know she's alive, at least not until she studies up on his favorite hobby, insect collecting. The next time she comes home from school, she has exciting news, he asked her to "go steady."moreless

  • A hilarious episode.

    Marica falling head over heels in love with Harvey is hilarious because they are total opposites. Marcia trying to learn everything she can about bugs to get Harvey to notice her is even more hilarious especially when Carol has to help her learn them. The amount of time they spend looking at the bugs is gross, but I guess it's whatever your interests are. It's funny how this episode is what started Marcia's long line of boyfriends, and them having to worry about Cindy. This episode is absolutely one of the best, because you would think it would never happen when you watch later on Marcia's boyfriends are all so different than Harvey.moreless
