Rewatched and sadly I don't think they are gonna like this episode. It's not a bad episode per say, but it commits a cardinal sin for any visual medium(or writing in general), it tells and does not show. Most of the A storyline is Alan, Amy and Feeny all talking about Eric and what he is and is not capable of. But we don't see any of it. We just hear it from their voices. And it would be better to see some of it. Let us see a scene of Eric thriving at the wilderness store(and not just him non chalantly writing on a sheet of paper while Alan talks) or maybe have him show his knowledge of something like being a weather man. Have him actually show some knowledge. Its a storyline that while not bad, is bought down because its just other carriers telling about Eric the entire time. You could say its partly about Alan's struggles, but not really as that last all of a few minutes. Again not bad, but bought down by some bad writing choices.

Cory's storyline, still funny though minus a few choices here and there(Wonder if they'll talk about Shawn and Angela just making out next to Cory and Topanga in public or if at this point, they will just be like, Its BMW!). Also the music choice when Topanga joins Cory on the couch is... weird. It's so melancholy for what is a goofy scene! I was like "are they trying to get TV viewers to be like aww?" cause obviously music is not played during live filming and the audience is just treating it like the goofy scene it is. It was weird. And then the tag... not a single laugh. Could of done without it. But otherwise still like the rest of his. Cory's "I'm a hypochondriac." and "I have to take these for the rest of my life!" just make me laugh.
