Featured review
Makes fun of a fad that occurred the year before...
... while also bringing home an important lesson about family and true friendship.
Wally's daughter Kelly gets into a spat of sorts with a girl reminiscent of the LITB character Judy Hensler in that she is very stuck up and sure of herself. The girl has the recent subject of crazed buying - a Mulberry Bush doll. Kelly tells the girl that she has one too, which is a lie. The other girl then says that she should bring the doll in on Monday to prove that she owns said doll. It's Friday, and thus Kelly has three days to get this doll that is currently sold out everywhere.
Kelly tells her dad about her dilemma, who, along with Beaver, go to great lengths and pay four times suggested price to get one. But then during the weekend Kelly has her doll outside playing with it and loses it. Now what? Watch and find out.
This show is making sport of a craze that occurred in 1983 when the Cabbage Patch Kids brand of dolls became so popular at Christmas that year that parents and grandparents were mobbing the stores for them and fights were breaking out over getting the last one. About 15 years before online shopping became a thing, the only way to buy something in most cases was to show up in person and run from store to store looking for it.
