TGIF!!

I can recall many of my afternoons being spent watching those goold ol' shows from the nineties. The conversation always comes up between new friends about " remember those old shows?". They were fantastic, they were cheesy, and they are missed. I can remember watching Boy Meets World with a hunger, I was absolutely convinced that Shawn Hunter and I were going to get married and live in his trailer ( I was also convinced I was going to marry John Bender and wear cool leather half gloves.. so apparently I have a type). In every episode of these classics there would be a dilemma, a life lesson learned, and a kick ass group of friends who had your back. Not only did the nineties shows have great theme songs (anyone remember the Growing Pains song?) but they all revolved around the whole family, which generally does not happen anymore. Someday I want to own a collection of nineties TV shows. So far I have all the episodes of Buffy and Angel, but that is because I have an unhealthy obsession with Joss Whedon. In this fabulous collection I would have all of these masterpieces: Boy Meets World, Saved By the Bell, Growing Pains, The Torkelsons, Family Matters, The Fresh Prince of BelAir, Even Stevens ( come on, Shia LeBeuf was hilarious even as a 10 year old), Clarissa Explains it All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Flash Forward, Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts, and Hey Dude. I miss the effortlessness of these half hour specials. Nothing was too forced, too serious, or too stupid. Take me back to days when the biggest problem was the guy we were dating was too short (funny enough I learned a life lesson and realized appearances don't matter) or trying to figure out how to cheat on the SAT's ( but then learning a life lesson that cheating isn't really the way to get ahead in life). Watching Michael Sever ( O Kirk Cameron why did you have to go all "religious?") be aloof was enough for me.
