I'm still on my prom kick, and
Duncanville is primed to be the next show to have one since the characters there seem old enough now (it already came up this season). Duncan tries to plan a prom-posal for his girlfriend Mia, who is a free-spirited liberal who thinks prom is an outdated ritual, despite becoming more inclusive in recent years. She does say yes. Their other three friends manage to get dates. Duncans parents Jack and Annie recall when they went to prom. Their Kimberly can't wait until she's old enough, while little Jing is too young to fully understand what it's all about beyond being like a ball in a faery story. Popular teacher Mr Mitch also DJs the do (he does it all in their small town). Something must happen at the hotel or wherever it'll be held so we have a show. Could happen next year in Series 4.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Fox cancelled the show, and the remaining episodes will only be on Hulu (which I can't afford, so I will just go to "the other place"). Only having the show air during the summer didn't really help when ratings are generally lower. Also, an episode Hulu aired showed the kids at a semi-formal, which is close enough to prom.
