I couldn't agree more with everything everyone has said here. The plots were great for kids who were preteens-- teenagers working on a ranch seemed so
grown-up then and the characters were always fun and believable. Favorite
show moments:
1. Brad and Ted going on their only date at the end of like the 2nd season.
They're having dessert and Ted is recounting an exaggerated story about a
baseball game. He "wipes the sweat from his brow" and wipes a forkful of
whipped cream across his hair without even knowing it.
2. The episode where Brad's dad loses his job and Jake comes in to tell her that if she wants to save money on clothes she can cut her long pants and shirts into T-shirts and shorts in the summer and then "velcro the pieces back on in the
winter."
3. And, I actually had a paperback book of the episode where Mr. Ernst leaves Ted in charge and Brad tries to take over? The best line there:
BRAD: This is about liberty, this is about freedom. DANNY: This is about to make me sick.
And since Nickelodeon ran the episodes for like 2 years after they stopped
making them, I swear I saw every episode six or seven times because I loved to watch the show. It drove my parents crazy after they'd seen everything 20 times and I threw a fit (being only 12) when we were in Tucson and I asked to see the ranch where it was filmed but we "didn't have time."
Question: Can ANYONE describe what Kyle looked like-- he was the only one
that I couldn't picture. Everyone else comes in quite clearly, since it was my favorite show from the time I was 9 to about 13... I'm so glad other people love this show as much as I do.
The line for the complete series on video/DVD starts here. :)
