It Must Be Love 'Cause I Feel So Dumb


I remember this episode more than any other from AAS because it coincided with my first crush...her name was Kim (last name withheld to protect her innocence, though I haven't seen her in almost 40 years!).

The differences were that we were only nine years old, rather than 13, she wasn't a cheerleader (though she went on to become one after I moved away) and I hated disco (I would go on to like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Rush, etc.), so I wouldn't have gone to dance with her!

However, she wouldn't have been caught dead near me and told me repeatedly that she didn't like me. Nonetheless, I wouldn't be dissuaded (stubborn little sod that I was) and even wrote her letters for a while after I moved away (none of which were answered of course).

If my 50+ year old memory serves, she did look a little like Vicky Dawson, who played Lisa.

It still boggles me that this episode is next to impossible to find...even on YouTube I've only been able to find one badly-copied excerpt.

Has anyone else seen this episode, a favourite of my youth, recently?
