and in my opinionation...(or: bueller? bueller?)

so, when i was in high school, i would come home from school and watch reruns of the hit early-90s tv show blossom as often as possible. i loved joey lawrence, i loved blossom's boyfriend vinnie (played by the super-cute david lascher, who i previously loved on nickelodeon's hey, dude), but most of all, i loved the fact that blossom was neither drop-dead gorgeous nor an unbelievable character. i mean, i felt like i could be friends with her. and there's something reassuring about that when you're in the midst of your own high school drama--even though the show was fictional, it was realistic enough to be comforting.

anyway, you can imagine my joy when i discovered that seasons 1 and 2 are now available on dvd. and yes, i netflixed them. i was also happy to see mayim bialik on what not to wear last friday--it's like a blossom resurgence!

did you watch blossom? did you love it like i did (and still do, apparently)? what was your favorite show when you were younger?


p.s. in other pop-cult news, cameron's amazing house from ferris bueller's day off is for sale. if only i had $2.3 million...!
