When I watched the series in the 90s, I used to identify myself with Brandon and Brenda. Now I totally identify with their parents since Brandon and Brenda could be my children 🙂

It was refreshing to see Jim giving Brandon a hard time for a change instead of Brenda 😅

Jim reacted exactly the way my dad would have. I told you so!

[corbett]

I remember back in high school, I wanted to this vintage Volkswagen and my Dad talked me out of it. I am so glad he did!

[nnayar]

Womp womp!!! 😂 caveat emptor, the same quote Mike Brady used when Greg bought a lemon!

[lnicole]

Jim was the typical father of Generation xer's, no empathy, work for it attitude and a real hard ass. LOL We were not a coddled generation.

2 things: First, at 2:39, it's clear through Jim's awkwardness that he has never thrown keys up in the air and caught them before in his life. Second, as this was before Uber, who is going to drive Jim home while the kids go for their joyride? He's not a member of the Beverly Hills Beach Club due to money concerns (See episode The Party Fish). So who took him home?

[Barleyleg]

Tough crowd. The kid didn’t even ask for anything, and it was his own money. Wonder what’ll happen when sister comes home pregnant?

[dennisatkinson]

I remember that leaving work without telling anyone....no repercussions for bad how real this show was.

[EastSide-qcoy]

This was almost literally an episode of The Brady Bunch. Mr. Brady even used the same line on Greg… “Caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.”

[philipmackenzie]

Of course daddy takes care of everything, what a cheese bag!!!!

....this, was why Brenda was HEATED over the vast unfairness of responsibility compared to Brandon; Jim SAYS he was hard on Brandon because of his fear for drinking / driving again, but couldn't entrust his Daughter to navigate her decision to lose the "V' to Dylan!?? ...but I LOVE when Jim YELLS...the Mom, TOO!! ....ha-HAAA!! (1:58)

Kelly should be sitting in the passenger seat of my 65 Chevy

Unpopular opinion Jim Wallace was not that great of a dad. I will never understand why he could not just sit down and have a conversation without yelling and lashing out at his kids. I know he loved his kids I know this was typical parenting for the 90s but does not make it a healthy parent-child relationship.

It's a lot more expensive nowadays. Back in 2014, it was about a little over $300 a day. A few years back in 2019, it was about $450 a day. I suppose it depends on location. Either way, it is expensive and sometimes not worth it.

Brandon is clearly inexperienced when it comes to purchasing a car, in this situation, the purchase of a lemon 🍋car that is worth somewhere between $2, 000 to $500. Brandon is clearly not a mechanic, so he made an honest mistake.

His dad Jim has a right to lecture Brandon on his mistake, and he is angry because it costs a lot of money.

Cindy is very supportive and completely neutral.

Cant even watch this episode and a lot of episodes because of copyright issues

[lancemalone]

Ha ha Jim > tow into the backyard and use it as a planter

[thedowntownmovielounge]

That car was a better long term investment than Jim ever made.

[brontiq]

The worst part of this was the color of that car 😂

[danielle-gk]

Bloody hell the mother really coddled Brandon in this scene when he really didn’t deserve it! 🙄
