Leo's Diary Entry: #6

Leo Samples Jackie's Goods

So, I was in the mall the other day and ran into that loud girl that the pretty dude, Kelso, dates (not that I have a crush on him or anything, but you gotta admit he’s kinda dreamy). Anyway, the loud girl -- Jackie, I think it is -- was standing outside my favorite store, the Cheese Palace, and she handed me a free piece of cheese as I walked by. How lucky is that?

Hyde says it’s not luck at all, that it’s her job to give out free cheese to people, but I don’t believe him. I mean, when I go by my second favorite store, McDonald's, they don’t give me free samples at all (unless you count straws). In fact, they usually call me a burnout and kick me out. You know, now that I think about it, that’s kind of mean of them. So, I’m gonna demote them from my second favorite store to ... eighth. Yeah, right behind the Fotohut.

Oh, sure, I know what you’re thinking (that’s one of my top six skills). You’re thinking if I own the Fotohut, why isn’t it my favorite store? I mean, it’s warm, everyone is nice to me, and they never call the cops on me when I fall asleep on the counter, but -- and here’s the key -- do they sell food? No they don’t, man. And I like food. In fact, I try to eat it three times a day. Pretty wild, don’t you think?

That is so wild!

I have to agree, that is wild!

I love Leo. I loved his and Hyde's friendship a lot.

MistyMountainHop

Me, too. Leo was totally non-judgmental toward Hyde. Unlike with Red, Hyde didn't have to worry about disappointing him or doing something that could get him kicked out of the house. Leo was also super supportive of Hyde when he got into trouble -- or when trouble found him (e.g., Bud, Jackie, etc.). Leo was like a favorite, wacky uncle.

I like that, Leo was a wacky uncle.

Hyde was his son he never had...

MistyMountainHop

Leo clearly got a long better with Hyde than his own son. That's pretty sad, though. I wonder how a meeting between Leo's son and Hyde would've gone.

msstock87

I often wondered that too, it could be interesting.

One Thing Remains

thanks for sharing the diary entry I loved Leo

msstock87

Leo was a great character.

One Thing Remains

he really was I wish he could have appeared in more episodes

msstock87

That would have been nice.

MistyMountainHop

Like shows in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, T7S should've had an episode that took place almost entirely on location rather than the studio. We partly get this in "Going to California". But maybe the perfect scenario would've been Hyde joining Leo on his planned trip to Amsterdam.

That would've been so expensive though! Going all the way to the Netherlands for one ep.

MistyMountainHop

True, but it could've been a double-episode special. Like a TV movie.
