Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Back In The Saddle Again
By Cate | Season 7 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.19.2003
After Cecilia's father leaves, Ruthie comes down and asks Simon, "How's life?" When Simon replies that's it's "sweet," Ruthie says, "You fall, you get back up again." I wait in vain for the mention of saddles and/or bootstraps. That's really uncharacteristic of Brenda to not pound the episode title into the ground. I'm talking about the actual words of the title, not the theme, which, of course, has been thoroughly pummeled to death.
Oops -- I spoke too soon. Lucy and Katelyn are out riding together the next morning. And the background music is "Back in the Saddle Again." It's not the Aerosmith song. That's too bad, since it would make the scene entertaining. But that's obviously something Brenda wants to avoid like the plague.
