WholeFnMachine Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The Hub network is showing reruns of Blossom every night,my wife and I don't miss an episode. This has led us to realize the following occurs in every episode: 1. Someone mentions Tony's past drug/alcohol addiction2. Someone mentions how dumb Joey is 3. VESTS Anyone else watching this 90s treasure trove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Have they gotten to any of the "Very Special" episodes yet? Because I'm pretty sure that no series had more "Very Special" episodes than Blossom did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't know that any sitcom can top the Fresh Prince Very Special Episode trifecta of "Carlton finds out about racist cops", "Will gets shot", and "Will's dad is an asshole". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I hit Alex." OK between that and "WHY AM I ALIVE?" Family Ties has some potent Very Special cachet as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I have never watched a minute of this show. Six grew up fetchingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Agreed on Six and Fresh Prince will forever be in my top 5. Y'all forgot the "Will had drugs in his locker and Carlton took them" episode. But it didn't hit as hard as the "Why don't he want me MAN?!" I still get choked up over that one. Also, we cannot discuss "Very special" episodes and not talk about Roseanne. They had that shit on lock. Roseanne is so fucking good and I don't even love the lead.

Reed Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 "Will's dad" was one of those few (maybe only) "very special" episodes that actually managed to move past the cornyness and become something pretty dramatic and real. Like, you can see it coming a mile off but Will's reaction is just so heartbreaking it unexpectedly gets to you. Also, Uncle Phil tearing the racist cops a new one. Compare that with Jesse from Saved by the Bell getting hooked on caffeine pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have to say, once you get past Tiffani Amber being the IT girl of the times there isn't much to Saved By the Bell. I watched it as a kid but it's pretty terrible. Fresh Prince is arguably a classic sitcom. Fuck it, it's classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a very good argument can be made for him being a psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 There was the extra creepy "Six has an affair with married guy/warrior poet/not a parody of Joey Buttafucco" Very Special Episode, which might be the creepiest "Ripped From The Headlines" thing NBC had ever done!

Roseanne is so fucking good and I don't even love the lead.Roseanne is a show I never watched when t was on originally but caught in reruns and was stunned at how good it was. For most of its run, it was the most realistic sitcom of all-time and was flat out funny as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Saved by the Bell- I had a reaction to that show just based on the fundy kids thinking it was good. Lets just say if the entire cast got put through flaming tables to this day I would cheer whoever did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
