First of all, I have a review of "Wooton Knows Best"! Let me know if you prefer audio or written reviews if you want. :-)
Also, I have a couple of thoughts on upcoming shows, based solely on their descriptions.
Anger Mismanagement
I see that Abuelita's in quite a few episodes this season, which may or may not work out to be a good thing. Her starting up a salon in the Parker's living room sounds interesting--more so than Olivia and Valerie together again!
Forgiving More...or Less
Red Hollard annoys me and I doubt this episode will change that. It might be nice to hear Camilla as the main character in a show, but making a forgiveness list sounds a bit dull.
You're Two Kind
Not looking forward to this one at all. Both storylines sound like they'll be lacking (although maybe in different ways).
A Penny Earned
I enjoyed Penny in TGRC and I want to hear more from her! For that reason all three episodes in this album featuring her are ones I'm looking forward to.
Never for Nothing
This show sounds like it's got a lot of potential, especially considering that Kathy Buchanan wrote the remarkable emotional-story-within-a-story episode "Something Significant." It's also got the highest rating out of all the album #54 episodes on AIO Wiki (99.9% from 14 votes). If it's done right, this could be my favorite show of this album.
Emily, the Genius
This sounds like a bad episode. Bob Hoose isn't a particularly talented writer and Emily isn't a particularly good character, so I have no hope for this episode.
How to Sink a Sub
This is looking to be the season of Kathy Buchanan episodes, which had better mean that we're not going to get five episodes as bad as "Opposite Day"! Despite that surprisingly poor episode in album #52, Kathy's become a great writer since her shaky early days on the show ("The Imaginary Friend," "Slumber Party," and so on) with great shows like "Now More Than Ever" and "Something Significant." Anyway, the thing I like best about this episode so far is its title--never would've guessed that "Sub" was standing in for "Subsitute [Teacher]"!
Unbecoming Jay
I'm not a Jay fan, so just because this episode's all about Jay does not make me excited about it. I do not want to see this character over-used!
Childish Things
Penny's going to become a Christian in this one. Otherwise, this sounds like a pretty uninteresting episode to end the season with. We'll see if this show delivers on the higher expectations placed on a season finale, but I'm quite looking forward to this one.

Both forms of your reveiws are awesome! But your audio ones are more epic!
Still haven't listened to your reviews, sorry. I have like no time.
But I wanted to say that I agree with you about Never for Nothing. I made a poll on my blog about what episode people are looking forward to the most. Never for Nothing only got one vote--mine. It has the most attractive storyline, and I'm very much looking forward to another episode like the Jubilee Singers, which is what this looks like.
You made the comment that Penny may become a christian in Childish things. Though she is a christian. She may have been attending Trask's study, but that doesn't mean she's not a christian. She is still a christian, she was just learning some non-biblically founded truths.
Yay, thanks for your encouragement, Austin!
I wouldn't get too worked up about "Never for Nothing," Christian, because then it's sure to pale in comparison to your expectations! And I am, of course, upset that you're behind on listening to my reviews--catch up soon, okay? :-P
Freddy Jay, I'm not sure if you're saying Penny's not a Christian because you've heard this whole album or if that's just your impression. I think there is room for listeners to doubt because of the ambiguity that has been presented to us so far. But I think I'll talk more about this when I review "A Penny Saved." :-)
I finally listened to your review!!
But now I have no time to review it in my comment. Sorry!
Thanks for finally getting around to listening, Christian! :-)
