"I'm not your personal doormat! I'm HER doormat!"

After we go through what should be by far the shortest pre title sequence (20 seconds precisely) with an "ok" joke by Estelle to Harriet, we get to the episode. This episode it's basically a "moral lesson" being told by Rachel (who has a very soothing and lovely voice for storytelling I must add) to Richie about taking credit of something or sharing the credit. The first example she gives starts with Laura and Eddie trying to "lose" Steve , just to see Steve waiting for them at home (very stupid to try to not be followed by Steve when they are going home, where he is all the time, and lives next door, but ok). but it's about Eddie taking credit over some english papers Eddie got A's for when it was all done by Steve. (pretty boring story, but Steve makes it worth while "You're trying to buy Eddie's friendship!" "No, I'm nooooot!") . The second example is Carl with his a-hole boss, who needs the credit for a bust out to secure his job, although Carl is the one doing all the work. Both stories were ok, but what really stood out from this episode is Steve standing up to Eddie, such a great scene, and the best part is Laura all proud for Steve, I just love them, a good episode for the show, a good moral, and an interesting way to tell it. In the end you understand both sides, to take credit and too share it. 8/10 ********

Taking Credit (#2.21)

As usually this episode includes a lesson. Little Richie learns when to take credit or not.

Carl was great and I absolutely love the character of the Lieutenant. The fact that he even changes his name according to his title makes him even more insane and unique. The story between him and Carl was pretty entertaining and involved some great acting.

When it comes to Eddie and Steve, the only thing that makes it good is the fact that we all love to see Steve stand up for himself. But it was not a well thought idea.

Really this episode for the most should just target little kids, for adults it is just about average (thanks to Carl and his colleague)

Glad to see Carl finally getting some more screen time during his police duties. It's a side of him we don't get to see most of the time. Also, nice to see Steve standing up for himself against Eddie. At the same time, it was kind of disappointing to hear him say he's Laura's doormat. Yeesh.
