Why would we want to see your mentally challenged topics on this site?

I vaguely remember seeing this episode and I think it's great that he volunteered his time. Who says he's not old enough to be a role model? I think the fact that he did it for no money at all says a lot about his character and his self-worth. Any kind of volunteering, no matter what it is is admirable in my book.

Don't take his responses seriously, the poster is 7 years old

The real reason Theo took that job is that the producers were trying to set up a potential spin-off series for Malcolm Jamal Warner about Theo working at the community center. Obviously tthe spin-off never happened.

The Here And Now series that Malcolm ended up starring in (and Bill Cosby produced) was similar though.

Really? Wow that would have been awesome! Definitely a unique idea for a show and I could see a lot of possibilities there!

I might be wrong here, but didn't Theo volunteer as a part of his college education?

Yes. Working at the Center was the practical experience portion of Theo's college education.

That would have been a nice spinoff

That was pretty much what it was. Here and Now wasn't that funny though.

Yeah it was very similar. I don't think I knew about it when it premiered because I don't remember watching it on NBC in 1992

They buried it on Saturday night and that was way after NBC's Saturday night lineup had collapsed.

I didn't know that!! That would've been an interesting show!!

Like others have said, I think it was part of his practicum or internship to work at the center.
