Very Interesting Episode!

"Dick Like Me" is a very interesting episode. It explores the themes of ethnicity, which of course is a very hot topic. I am not sure an episode like this gets made today, but I did think this was a really funny episode. The Solomons are called to Tommy's school to have a conference with Tommy's teacher, Mr. Randell (John D'Aquino) because he believes Tommy does not fit in. At this meeting, Mr. Randell asks Sally out to the school dance. But she does not know how to dance! Meanwhile, the family try to decide which ethnicity they belong in-and they have a hard time doing so.

I thought this episode was well-done considering some of the plotlines. Some quotes are a little risky, and that may be a bit kind. But I did have a fun time watching this episode. At least we learned that Mary Albright is Irish!

My Grade: A-

This Episode was thought provoking and entered uncomfortableness with an ingenious perspective!

Listen! I hardly close to never write reviews on anything! And that's not to imply I don't have an opinion. However, this episode, no matter how old, as I'm commenting on this in literally mid 2023, is absolutely refreshing! Alien beings having no knowledge of ethnicity are trying to choose which to be!!! Isn't that great!! Because all they know are humans, mankind, built the same way, made the same way, no matter the color, religion, social, or economic status thereof!! I found in no way insulted when Dick was in class hounding the students with questions of who was what and missing the mark of features to assume such!! ! Brilliant. I'm an Alien then, I have to assume. I'm ok with that!
