The wonder years 59-62

The first episode I saw was centered around the death of aunt rose. Grandpa arnold comes into town and he mentions everyone is going to the funereal the next day. Kevin and wayne get into petty arguments and it's obvious grandpa is the only one who actually wants to go. On the way to the burial, grandpa has had enough so he kicks the arnold boys out of the car, forcing them to walk 2 miles to the burial site. When they finally get there, kevin realizes how important family is even though he didn't really know aunt rose.

The 2nd episode I barely paid attention since I have seen it lots of times before and it is filler and forgettable so I will make this brief. Kevin needs a filling but he's scared and he is intimidated by the sexy dental assistant. Eventually she gives him the courage to get over his fear.

The 3rd episode was about kevin's dog named buster. He has a normally perky bagle(yeah that's how I pronounce that breed) who keeps barking this weird off key bark. Apparently it's because he's sexually frustrated. Yes a family sitcom touched upon this although buster didn't. The vet tells him the only way to calm him down is to get him fixed. Buster keeps giving kevin weird looks almost as if he knows. Kevin takes him to the park as a way to get him to relax. Instead buster chases some sweet dog tail and runs away. That night the whole family is looking for him until he finds them. Buster gets fixed then the family enjoys him a lot more. Kevin tells us when he left for college, buster waited for hours by the window and he was always the first one to greet him when he came home.

The 4th episode is about growing up and how you don't relate to your parents. Kevin and jack rarely talk to each other and instead use norma as a go between. She tries lots of tactics to get them to talk but she resorts to having jack and kevin go to a suit sale in a town that is an hour away. Kevin keeps wanting to help jack but he messes up. When they arrive, the store is closing and they get a flat tire. Kevin fixes the jammed lug nut  which impresses jack and they finally go back to talking to each other again.
