March 13, 1953: Good luck with that, Charlie Brown
The argument concerning relative worth re: men and women sounds maybe a little more troubling today than it did back then. I usually excuse it as a childish kind of "go team!" cheering. (Thesis: sports team loyalty is taking the place of the casual chauvinism and racism of earlier decades. You have two hours. You may pick up your pencils... now!)

March 13, 1951: What's so great about rocking?
Patty and Violet have a somewhat stereotypical conversation in a primarily verbal joke. I like noticing what characters do during these jokes; here, it involves them picking flowers for wearing in their hair, if anything an even more stereotypically-female activity.
