I watched the ep Today when he was in love with a young girl in Barbara's age bracket. You would think Barbara would be creeped out to know Schneider is fooling around with someone so young but she didn't seem that bothered by the situation. You would think Ann would be creeped out too because due to the fact she had a daughter around the same age but she was bothered by it either. Strange Situation

All I can say is it was the crazy 1970s. Was Barbara grown-up yet or still a teenager? If the girl being dated by Schneider was still a teen then yes, that is pretty creepy. Even as a kid I always thought Dwayne Schneider had a sleazy side. I always wanted to hand him a bar of soap. He used to strike me as being greazy. A plot like that would never even be written today. LOL!

Okay, then it wouldn't seem so creepy then. They're both adults. But still, what would a young 20-21 year old girl would see in Dwayne Schneider.
