YMMV / Go! Go! Cory Carson

• Accidental Aesop: "Bumper Bowling" mainly has a message that it's okay to like "baby stuff", mainly bowling with the bumper lanes. But alternatively, it could be a lesson about how everyone plays at their own pace. You don't have to be an instant professional just to enjoy the game.
• Funny Moments: In "Changing Lanes", Cory's parents switch roles with him and Chrissy, getting to be the grown-ups while their parents get to be kids. Hilarity Ensues as both parties deal with the problems that come with their respective roles. One highlight is Mrs. Carson about to go out to the movies with Carolyn, only for Cory to remind her that she hasn't cleaned her room yet. Not wanting to invoke Double Standard, Mrs. Carson begrudgingly complies.
  Mrs. Carson: (Sadly Deadpan) Sorry Carolyn, I have to go clean my room.
  • Another such moment in the same episode is when Cory and Chrissy relish their first morning as adults, having a 'grown-up' breakfast. Then Cory wonders how their parents will spend their morning as children. We cut to a shot of both Mr. and Mrs. Carson sleeping in.
• Heartwarming Moments: In "Bumper Bowling", when picking bowling names to enter into the computer, Mrs. Carson playfully wonders if her husband chose "Hotrod". To this, he flirtatiously responds that he chose that for her. Her blushing shyly says it all.
  • In the Christmas Episode "A Cory Carson Christmas", it turns out Santa-John-Doe isn't the real Santa Cars. He's actually one Benjamin Bell, and he got his memory back. Bear in mind that for the better part of the episode, Cory has been trying to jog "Santa's" memory with Santa Claus related things (and failed spectacularly). But what truly gets Benjamin to regain his memories? Seeing a family spend time together, reminding him of his own family. Awwww!
  • Also in the same episode, Cory overhearing that Benjamin might not make it to his family in time for Christmas, between a three day drive and the horrible weather. In response, Cory takes his letter to Santa and revises it to ask, not for the toy he's wanted, but for Santa to somehow reunite Benjamin with his family. The very next morning, to Benjamin's surprise, his wife and child miraculously found him! When his dad asks if he got what he wanted for Christmas, a heart-warmed Cory responds that indeed he did.
    • Generally, Cory's revision of his letter to Santa Cars, which includes the moral of the story:
  Cory: (Rewriting his letter) Dear Santa, I've been thinking a lot about Christmas lately, like you always do. There's a lot of things that make Christmas Christmas. The toys, the traditions, the lights, the toys. But today, I learned that Christmas isn't just about getting gifts, it's about giving them. Sometimes that gift can be a hug, or a song, or a bedtime story. Christmas isn't about what's under the tree, it's about who's around it. I know it's super late, but I wanted to switch my Christmas wish. My present this year, I want my new friend Mr. Bell to be able to spend Christmas with his family. I hope it's not too much trouble to change my wish. Thanks for all the hard work, and Merry christmas. Love Cory Carson.
