The classic mom guilt trip
Mr-Fusion9 October 2017
'The Lost Boy' deals with both parents coming through for their children. In Beverly's case, it's coming to terms with Erica's and Barry's need for space. But the episode has its best moments with Murray, having lost Adam at Veteran's stadium. It's a poignant story of a child learning self-reliance and his father being there for him in the end. Makes for a surprisingly affective finish.

7/10

The Lost Boy

Without Wendi McLendon-Covey as Beverly this show would be not nearly as good, as she steals every scene she is in.

She is hysterical here, as Barry and Erica try (and fail) to play her at her own game.

The Adam/Murray storyline is nice too.

Another good episode.

May 11, 1980something
Dphilly52126 March 2015
May 11, "nineteen eighty something". The prominent presence of the Flyers Ron Hextall jersey narrows it down to 1987, 1988, or 1989. Neither of the three possible dates fell on a weekend, yet the kid and his Dad could have attended a day Phillies game during the week because they have those business person's special games occasionally.

On a trivial Philadelphia sports note, May 11, 1989 is the date on which Ron Hextall got revenge against the Montreal Canadians' Chris Chelios at the conclusion of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Would have been interesting if the episode takes place on the very same date. Traffic outside the Vet would be even busier because of the Flyers game, which took place at the Spectrum that night.

Not a bad episode, although I like the Ferris Bueller one better.
