Season 3, Episode 1
10/10
The Penguin on Room 222?
29 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Douglas Day Stewart, who wrote the screenplay for the classic film An Officer And A Gentleman, wrote this very interesting episode that.features Burgess Meredith (the Penguin and Rocky's trainer) as a reactionary school board member that the students come into conflict with when Pete and Alice open up a school radio station giving the students freedom of expression with their music and personal comments BIG MISTAKE! The question of censorship comes into play and Kaufman starts to regret his decison. The students go to the board meeting and record Meredith's character making a jerk of himself and mocking the students. He is such a jerk you grit your teeth watching him. The students expose him in the end by turning the mike on when he is having an argument with Pete. It reminded me of Lonesome Rhodes getting exposed in A Face In The Crowd.
