Blossom

Nov 19, 2008 15:26

We had been watching Blossom recently. I remember it being bad. It is worse than that. It is well into the territory of ironic delight. It airs at 10am on the channel Trouble so Joanna never got to see it so I started recording them. It was soon after that I realized that Trouble only has about twenty episodes but there are some magical moments within even those. There are guests stars galore on the show: Mr. T appears as a figment of Joey's imagination, B.B. King "jams" with Blossom's dad, David Schwimmer plays a married guy in his late 20s who begins dating Blossom's 16 year old bff Six, Phyllis Diller appears in at least two episodes as an ambulance crew co-worker to Blossom's older brother and Hugh Hefner plays himself in an episode where Joey goes to the Playboy Mansion. Then there's still the bizarre theme episodes such as: the Blossom goes to Paris two parter, Blossom goes to Disneyland and there is an exceptionally awful two parter where the cast of Blossom is inserted into a Frankie & Annette beach type movie. There is another episode that is done as a film festival with a short vignette for what each character "made" for their film and in that episode is the music video for Joey's song!!! Strangest, there is an clip episode that breaks the 4th wall throughout and the actors "talk" about the characters and favourite scenes.
If you, like me, haven't watched Blossom since the early 90s and remember it as a crap issue driven sitcom then give it another chance, it's terrible.

EDIT: The Joey Lawrence video!
