Step by Step: Cody is smarter than Dana

[mossgeorge]

I like how Frank never stopped JT from burning Dana when she deserved it.

[AmaZment]

Man JT’s comeback was hilarious!!!! Dana had that coming too

[deletedwaffles]

I always liked seeing Dana getting some comeuppance. Especially when it's something from Cody who she's always talking down to.

[UncleAL]

It’s so good seeing Dana get knocked down a peg.

Who remembers when Cody didnt sleep for a few nights, and then figured out the meaning of life but than fell asleep before telling anybody😂

[RAP-SKULLION]

Cody's brain is like a sponge, able to absorb and retain incredible amounts of information. It's why he's able to learn things very easily which is why he has so many skills and excels at academics with moderate effort. It's also why he's able to easily believe things that are outlandish and not true.

Cody is HOT! 🔥 always had a huge crush on this guy! 😍😝

What's really interesting is the actress who played Dana is now an attorney. Playing an intellectual was natural for her.

Dana had to eat a big slice of humble pie there.

Cody is portrayed as someone who isn't very bright, but Cody is very smart. Cody is bright when it comes to academics. Cody struggles when it comes to non-literal concepts. Cody takes things literally to the extreme, believes certain things are true that obviously aren't true, etc which is why Cody is perceived as not very bright, but Cody is very bright when it comes to academics, which is why he did well on the SAT test. I remember an episode of Step by Step where Cody was asked by Frank "Why the long face", and Cody took it literally instead of interpreting it to mean why are you upset. Cody did take things literally to the extreme.

Chelsea from That's so Raven was perceived as someone who wasn't very bright, when in reality, she was bright. Chelsea from That's so Raven was academically smart but struggled in regards to understanding non-literal concepts, understanding sarcasm, understanding jokes, etc.

People's brains work differently. There's some people that are very academically bright, school smart, good at Math, good at Science, etc, but they struggle when it comes to things like non-literal concepts, understanding sarcasm, understanding jokes, etc.

Dana's ego was just bruised. She's a condescending, know it all control freak.

[annearly]

Dana is the most self-absorbed, narcist, and hypocrite she is mean to everybody Cody, JT, and Frank when they did nothing to deserve it. But if they treat her like that she would be screaming discrimination and bullying about how she is oppressed

[jamiewiesner]

I love how Dana's mind is blown by Cody getting a 1320 on the SATs.

[JohnSmith-zwvp]

1:07 -- Best...Step by Step...moment...EVER. And today that score is top ten percent!

[vickiehurt]

I ❤ed this show. Cody, J. T. and Dana were true blended family magic!!!! And I had a huge crush on J.T. also!!!! #Danaburger

[redrum]

Did anyone else notice Dana becomes INSANELY HOT later on in the series?

[weasel]

Same plot was used on Saved by the Bell. Zach thought he got a 750, then it was realized there was another part he got 752 on for a total of 1502.

I’ve always hated Dana. Loved Cody to this day. So happy when they would one up her.

[nsrster]

He also won the "rematch." This would have been a natural follow-up between Dana and her mom:
CAROL: He could have been lucky, or you might have had a bad day. Or, face it, honey, maybe he's just...
DANA: Don't say it, Mom!
CAROL...smarter than you.
DANA: AAUGGH!
