By replace I mean he took her to a pawn shop and got her a drum set. Once uncle Phil found out which is her dad, he got very upset. He said she must stay in violin lessons and not play the drums.
Proof
The evidence I got from the show was from watching it. It would always come on and even sometimes they would replay the show and that is why I remember most of the things that happened. I also did some researching about the show to get some characters I forgot the name of.
Why to watch
I recommend to watch this show because it is very funny. It will make your day better if you’re having a bad day. From the first episode all the way to the last the show will always keep you interested in it. It will make you want to watch more and more of it, even after the last episode.
