Featured review
The saga of Georgie Jr. and Veronica.
When we first met Veronica Duncan, she was being tutored by Sheldon Cooper and crushed on hard by Georgie Cooper. She was a typical "bad girl" who he was sure was going to take away his virginity. But one day at a Halloween horror house designed to convert people to Christianity, the girl of his dreams decides to become one of the saved.
Then she wanted to be baptized at the local church and Georgie wanted to use this as an attempt to make out with her,... and do a lot more after that of course. Unfortunately, all that gets him is her right fist square in his eye!
So much seems to go wrong with Sheldon's older brother's unshakable crush on this girl, and his effort to get together with her. But now her mother's drunken, abusive boyfriend Cliff, who looks like an older version of Darrin McGrew from "The Middle," has sent her running in terror and tears to Mary Cooper's office at the First Baptist Church of Medford, and she decides to give her sanctuary at the Cooper household, in spite of the lustful desires of Georgie. And Mom knows her teenage son is going to try to woo her again, and warns him not to do so. Though he does offer to let her sleep in his room and clean the place up, he still douses himself with so much cologne, that everybody can smell it.
One night, Veronica watches Georgie watching TV and makes a joke about what he watches, then she gives him a passionate kiss. But it's only a dream... a dream that makes her realize that she's actually falling for him even though she knows he only wants to get under her skirt.
The B-Story involves Dr. Sturgis inviting Meemaw on a date at a local Tex-Mex restaurant where they first met. They're both having a good time, until the professor gets down on one knee and offers a wedding ring. She turns down his hand in marriage, but still wants to stay with him.
The real trouble starts when the cause of Georgie's would-be girlfriend's problems arrives at the Cooper's front door and meet the two oldest male family members, and let's just say that sometimes, you can really appreciate trumped-up legal charges.
One of the scenes that a lot of fans talk about is the "Girl Time" scene between Veronica and Missy. Not so much because of the dialogue, but because of the background music. The song is "I'll Be You," by The Replacements, and some people like it because it fits the scene where Missy claims Veronica has a better life than she does, and vice versa, and they both try and fail to do an old "Freaky Friday" trick. I like it because it proves that the music department on this show is willing to go a little more underground for period piece tunes. I could recommend some '90's music myself, including a couple that would work well with Sheldon's atheism. Then again, I'm not so sure how much money the bands would want to use their songs on TV. In the meantime, I was kind of disappointed that Isabel May didn't appear again in Season 4. Hopefully we'll get to see her play Veronica Duncan again for what's left of Season 5, or the remaining two seasons.
