I first posted about Curtis in this post. I went looking for more King Curtis information but couldn’t find much. Why ABC does not have clips of him I can’t even imagine. Talk about missing the boat! But I did find this picture of their family, and this little bit of information about the episode:
The Hollands from North Carolina are true southerners who live for Demolition Derby! Parents Cliff (40) and Ginger (38) love to build, paint and destroy cars. With 80 junk cars in their backyard to play with, kids Courtney (12) and Curtis (7) already know how to strip a car’s interior, change a tire and replace a bumper. To fuel their bodies, the Hollands love all things fried. Dad Cliff says they would try salad if they could figure out a way to fry it, and son Curtis demands chicken nuggets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Hollands are happy to spoil their kids, and it’s seven-year-old “King Curtis” who runs the Holland house. Whatever King Curtis wants, he gets, though Cliff justifies spoiling his kids by claiming they’re “money poor, family rich.” It’s all in the name of down and dirty southern fun for the Holland family!
Another thing, aside from Curtis, that I liked about this episode was that you could see how much Cliff, Curtis’ dad, really loved him. That was really touching. I hate to say it, but the dad from the other family almost didn’t seem to care about his kids. I know it’s hard for parents to show it sometimes, some people just aren’t built for that. But Curtis’ dad Cliff was definitely a great father. He admitted that maybe the needed to think about health a little more, but in the love department, they were doing great.
