Hey Everyone,

Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast.

Today, I covered S3E14: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, which aired on January 16, 1988.

In this episode Vicki gives a bank computer data that Ted is dead.
This creates issues for him and Joan because they can't use their credit cards to buy groceries, since Ted had been doing what we in today's world refer to online banking to pay our bills. 

He was 30 years ahead of his time here, however Vicki mishears Ted mention something about him being dead and Vicki inputs that data into the computer to cut off his credit because he's dead.

He has to go to the bank to prove he's alive, which doesn't do anything, he doesn't show his ID, the the bank manager has no idea if he is who he says he is.

Joan and Ted have a fake funeral to prove to the bank creator and other random people including Brandon and Bonnie (Edie McClurg's final episode) that he is very much alive.

Jamie and Vicki have a small side plot where he's selling packets of Christmas Tree Seeds in January for $3.95.

No one's buying that crap because no ones thinking of Christmas in January.

Joan gets a Life Insurance check for $100,000, that of course they have to give back.

Join me later this month when I cover S3E15: Bye Bye Brindles, which aired on January 23, 1988.

In this episode the Lawsons plot to convince the Brindles to move.

See ya'll later this month!

Overall not a bad episode.
