Lovely as ever
studioAT21 May 2020
A lovely episode (though I think I say that every time) in which Kevin/Winnie and Paul band together to save a piece of their childhood.

Perhaps the show overdoes the dream sequences a bit, but on the whole this is lovely warm-hearted stuff.

"There's no Old Man Harper?"
sheepandsharks12 June 2023
Another beautiful episode that tackles growing up in a very literal and metaphorical sense. I think a little piece of us dies whenever we see our childhood playground, school, house, etc. Torn down. Ironically, a lot of us are now watching the shopping malls where we spent our adolescent years be torn down or abandoned. The cycle of life continues!

We also get a quick glimpse of the present day at the end of the episode, with another very sweet closing shot.

Once again, Paul Pfeiffer delivers a line that made me pause the episode to laugh. His belief that there MUST be an Old Man Harper is such perfect kid logic. I never appreciated how hilarious this character was when I first watched the show.
