I don’t know if it’s because I’m nostalgic, or that times are tough and I sympathize with those laid off, but I was really feeling John and Marlena this week. I used to love them when I was younger but I soured on them lately when it was all “oohs”, “awes”, and Smokey Robinson singalongs. [...]

Emilio! Or my thoughts on Confessions of a Teen Idol
Posted in Confessions of a Teen Idol, Nostalgia, Reality Shows on January 5, 2009 | 6 Comments »
People, for the last month I’ve been dying for something to watch. It’s been all reruns or variations of A Christmas Carol and I can only take so much. Now usually I don’t care for January because I get depressed that the holidays are over but now I have a whole new season of bad [...]
It’s a Christmas Miracle!
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Holiday Ideas, Nostalgia on December 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »
As I am on vacation, I decided that I would throw out some posts about “classic” clips to get into the holiday mood. Up first, a blast from the past from 1996. Let me set the scene, John and Marlena are kind of together but not really as Kristen is pregnant with John’s baby (actually [...]
Sleepover Friends

I apologize for taking so long to write about 90210, I am sure you all were on pins and needles. I mean, Silver hosts a slumber party…that just screams excitement, right? Actually, when I heard there was going to be a slumber party, I thought of Original 90210′sFirst Season Slumber Party. You know, where Donna [...]
Not your mother’s (mother/daughter) high school fashion show
Posted in 90210 memories, New 90210, Nostalgia, Shows that I would like to see on September 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »
So 90210sucks but I’ve set a season pass for it and continue to blog about it. At the most, I know now that Donna has a baby, Brenda is a somewhat successful actress with a T-Mobile cell phone plan, Kelly and Dylan conceived a child, and Brandon apparently is in Belize and has a family. [...]
Brandon Walsh, you are not the father

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am much more interested in the behind the scenes gossip at 90210 than I am in any of the actual plotlines. Just think: if this show manages to find a following (and that’s a mighty big “if”) we could be treated to “I Hate Annie” blogs. What am [...]
Requiem for Jackie Taylor
Posted in 90210 memories, New 90210, Nostalgia on September 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Honestly, what the hell happened to my beloved Jackie Taylor? Jackie Taylor, the Queen of Teen Soap Opera MILFS? (Come on, people, she paved the way for Julie Cooper.) She was a trailblazer; a Susan. B Anthony of fabulously wealthy, alimony-loving single moms. Her first appearance on the show was in a fringed bikini! That’s right, fringe. [...]
I feel so old right now
Posted in 90210 memories, New 90210, Nostalgia on September 2, 2008 | 4 Comments »
There are several things in life that make me feel old. Here’s a small sampling: Fall Out Boy: I don’t get them; I can’t name a single song they sing and they epitomize how I know nothing about music anymore, despite previously working in the music industry. My impending High School Reunion: Yeah, not going. [...]
Rethinking the whole “Donna Martin Graduates” thing
Posted in 90210 memories, Bad Idea Jeans, Nostalgia, Tori and Dean on August 30, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I haven’t decided if I am going to give this new 90210 reboot or not; I just feel like watching it will invalidate my youth. I mean, Kelly Taylor as a guidance counselor? Despite her protests to the contrary, I always imagined Kelly would end up like her coke-addled mother. Bonus points if she married [...]
Bo and Hope Get Married Again
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Nostalgia on August 7, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Bo and Hope, but how many weddings have there been? I imagine a conversation like this surely occured six weeks ago: Random Writer #1: Ratings are down! Random Writer #2: I know let’s have Hope and Bo marry…again. Random Writer #3: We’ll cobble together a clip package and call [...]
