A brand new life...brand new life...a brand new life around the bend.
I've had the theme from Who's the Boss in my head all morning. I think it's because I was driving behind a light blue van this morning, weaving through a windy, foliage-dressed road. Why was Jonathan on that show? Everyone knows that Allyssa Milano was there because she was a budding lust queen. But Jonathan was the blatantly homosexual son of Angela and he was probably the biggest pussy on the face of the earth at that time (Jorge Posada hadn't emerged yet). What place did he have on a wildly popular sitcom in the mid-eighties?
As long as we got each other, we got the world spinning right in our hands, baby. Rain or shine. All the time. Growing Pains was the best. Any show where the lead character's best friend is called 'Boner' has got to be a great show. My favorite episode was the one where they put Chrissy to bed and she thinks that they throw these huge parties once she's tucked in. It was awesome when they had the pony in the living room. You know, for being such a cute little kid, Ben Seaver grew into a hideous adolescent and adult. Slight deterrence for his career as an actor...
New boy in the neighborhood, lives downstairs and it's understood. Charles never slept with Jamie, nor did Buddy. Why is that? Before she left for Baywatch and seedy films, they should have plugged her into a love triangle between Charles and Buddy. The result would have been disastrous, and Mr. Powell would have become an angry and violent alcoholic. Sara would have spiraled out of control from Charles' rejection of her, but soon enough he would realize that perhaps having both sisters could be tons of fun. Eventually, Charles impregnates both Jamie and Sarah, putting him in charge of a grossly illegitimate family. All is not lost, however. Buddy falls ass-backwards into an inheritance and buys a huge mansion for all to live in. Charles eventually commits suicide after finding Buddy in bed with his mom and Mr. Powell.
Favorite Facts of Life character: Blair
Least favorite: Tooty
Can anyone remember how Webster thwarts the robbery in that episode? I can't put my finger on it...

1. Charles definitely fucked Jamie
2. Good idea to admit to the entire blogging universe that you thought Ben Seaver was "cute"
3. I stopped watching Webster after his doll came to life and escpaed from the closet. That episode was one of the most tramatic moments of my childhood; right up there with the first time I watched Large Marge gave Pee-Wee a ride in her big rig.
Listen, I was just trying to show how they made a mistake with that casting. No good?
You got a tight grip, Levine. A TIGHT GRIP.
holy crap i can't believe you liked blair. horrible.
and webster wrecked my childhood in many ways- take one paranoid, scared-of-the-world little girl and add small people, clocks, and fires- and you've got a recipe for disaster.
I had a crush on her, what can I say?
I love how both you and Rich (richlevine, URLB blog) have the same thoughts about the fear factor from Webster. So awesome.
