“Supreme Courting”

This was one of my lower level Picket Fences episodes so far in this rewatch. It was Valentine’s Day in Rome and love takes a hit.

Carter uses the Cyrano de Bergerac method to help him with a date with the beautiful woman. He also slipped some tequila into her drink. When he told her the truth, she felt betrayed, rightfully, I think.

She went and wanted him charged with rape, which, again, I feel she had a case. However, Judge Bone dismissed the case and chastised them for bringing it, wasting his time. This section of this show did not age well.

Zack got a girlfriend and got in trouble by rubbing her breasts when they went to kiss. The other boys of 4th grade egged him on. Zack and the girl got caught and Zack wound up suspended for a week.

Kimberly had a boyfriend who was anxious about kissing her because she had a reputation. He was nervous about being accused of sexual harrassment.

This episode was about an important issue that felt tossed into a Valentine’s Day episode.
