This is my evidence that you haven't been listening to me.

The main portion of Emma and Johnny's development into the 21st century takes place in the first few episodes. In the pilot they're given the basic rundown and are introduced to cars, TVs, 21st century clothes, etc. At the end of the episode, Johnny is introduced to the concept of "dating" by Sherman. The rest takes place in the episodes, but not in the main summary (example, Johnny is introduced to MP3 players in the second episode and makes a comment on them being magical, with Sherman attempting to explain but giving up. Emma is similarly introduced to it by Alex in the fourth episode.) Emma is introduced to the concept of dating by Alex in Jealousy, but doesn't fully understand it which is why neither of them go to the dance with anyone. Johnny gets a better understanding of dating by going out with Becca, who is the first person that tries to really explain anything to him (besides Sherman). He does what Sherman suggested to ask Alex out (which is basically "hey you want to go with the dance" without any understanding of what it means), and when Becca suggests that they fake-date to make Alex jealous, he doesn't understand what that means and Becca explains ("It means you sit close to each other, like this. And hold hands, like this. And look into each others' eyes, like this.") which makes Johnny extremely uncomfortable. Becca apologizes and says that they don't have to do the corny stuff and suggests that they just walk to class together and grab some lunch after school's out. For the rest of the episode Becca is slowly introducing Johnny to different 21st century items because she figures out that he's not used to this stuff (she doesn't know why, but she wants to help- that's her character) which is why Emma and Sherman think Johnny actually likes her, even though he doesn't. At this point Johnny knows almost entirely what dating is because he's been introduced to it multiple times, and Emma has surely picked something up from her time with Alex and with Johnny's whole thing. Either way, she's fully introduced to it as well in the episode Emma's First Boyfriend by Alex when Muscles asks her out, and even moreso when Sherman agrees to fake date her (cue scenes nearly identical to Johnny and Becca) and when she realizes she has a crush on Sherman, she asks Alex to give her a full crash-course on "liking a boy".

At this point, I've introduced everything I find necessary, which is why I'm shifting the show to full-time time travel, because it's the next way to expand the characters and their plots.
