I think a lot of people who see this show miss the point of why Junior sometimes acted the way he did. Usually when Junior got into mischief some of the time he was provoked or treated unkindly, mostly by other children and sometimes Big Ben. For Example:
When Junior, Ben and Flo were invited to a little girls birthday party, the girl was disrespectful to Junior by at first saying she didn't want him at her party because he was adopted. Then when she is forced to invite him she is mean to him at the party by leaving him out of all the party games and telling him he can't watch her magic show. So
therefore because of the way the girl treated him he gets even by destroying her party. Another time is when Junior plays baseball on the team that Ben is coaching, the boys all make fun of him there by calling Ben, his dad a dork so Junior knocks half the other team out with the baseball bat. I feel that Junior never believed that he was loved considering the fact that his real mother abandon him as well as several other families.The only one that ever tried to give Junior a chance was Ben Healy(John Ritter) his wife, Flo was too concerned with fitting in. Never the less this movie and Problem Child 2 were both excellent movies.
