All had the bumps any sort of relationship might encounter.

For the kids, simple date plans went awry.

For the eldest, secrets were kept and were leaked, thanks to an adorable Evan.

The fourth relationship experienced the biggest emotional swoon: Emery and his idea of his parents love.

But throughout the series, hes been mostly positioned to serve as a foil for Eddies modernity.

The middle child was finally placed in, well, the middle of the plot action.

Emery holds a very romantic belief of what romance is.

He affixes the 50ish cards he received from classmates to his wall to create a love wall.

Emery walks in on his parents… doing…their taxes.

(Note to any folks considering marriage: Be sure to tell your future spouse about every former spouse.

Dont pull a Marvin.)

Things just cant go well for a date when this is uttered: I knew it would be you.

Thats the way it should be.

Now its time for the weekly dose of nostalgia in these recaps, the90smoments, ranked:

8.

Jimmy Jam also gave respect.

This would be higher if not for Janet being back in business today.

Now he, Allison, and Trent can all attend.

But then the guy takes the prized tickets and books it.

If only there were a Stubhub or Craigslist to negotiate with myriad sellers.

Call-in radio contests:They still exist, sure.

But the viability and the cool factor (am I using it correctly?)

has dwindled throughout time.

Traditional radio isnt as big a medium for listening to music as it once was.

(Speaking of No.

3: Evan calling Honey No.

3 might have been the hardest Ive laughed at anything all year.)

Disposable cameras:Emery snaps the awkward prom-like photo of Jessica and Louis before their not-so-hot date night.

That meansThe Larry Sanders Show!

Show With Bob and David!

She and Louis dont want to drop hard-earned dough onDennis Miller Live, though.
