Growing Up Is Hard To Do - impossible to find?

[TheLazenby]

I'm curious, because I'm trying to collect to watch the whole Archie saga, and I can't find these episodes anywhere.

Does anyone here actually own copies of the two-parter "Growing Up Is Hard To Do", about Stephanie's bat mitzvah?? They never aired in syndication, and since all of the 'complete' sets online were taped from syndication (UPN, in fact), these two episodes are missing!

TV Land aired both parts in 2002 or 2003. I do believe I have those two floating around somewhere.

If you can find them, would you let me know?

That would not only be a huge help to me, but others I know who have hunted like crazy for those episodes.

They recently aired on canadian DejaView as well.

There you have it!

I never understood Stephanie's refusal to have her Bat Mitzvah reception at the bar. It was just an extension of 704 Hauser and she spent as much time if not more there during the series as she did at home.

This marked a major change in the direction of ABP. Stephanie was put on the back burner thus there was no longer a need for her supporting cast. She would be briefly mentioned in passing a couple more times but this was the final on camera appearance of best friend Amy Bloom and next to last of her Archie nemesis liberal father Barry. Mrs. Canby would only pop in a couple more times. And Stephanie being Jewish was deemphasized, only being incidentally referred to going forward.
