Does anybody remember Clarissa Explains It All? Looking back on that show as an adult now I realize some things.

Clarissa was a total cock tease. Sam was always climbing in through her window at all hours of the day, but did she ever let him hit it? No. The bitch was just using poor Sam to get money.

The dad was a drunk and probably always slept around with other women.

the mom was severly mentally disturbed. Today she kind of reminds me of Ricky Fitz's mom from American Beauty.

Ferguson was gay. You knew that, right?

I remember the last three.

Biker Mice from Mars always seemed like a poor man's Ninja Turtles to me. Same with the Mighty Ducks Caroon.

Aside from them being bikers and mice, it was pretty much a carbon copy of the Ninja Turtles. They even had near identical spunky female sidekicks. It was the action figures that I liked. The show blew.

Oh, there was also a show about these toys that came to life when no one was around. One was a pink elephant, one was a monster truck, one was a hot water bottle and one was an accordion. I can never remember the name though...

It's just not natural. When I'm trying to prolong an orgasm, I picture Ian slipping his love truncheon into wee little Jimmy while saying, "Who's Fab Dabby Doesy now bitch?" over and over again.

Sometimes I don't even reach an orgasm.

I think they did, but then just had more problems once they were.
Or maybe I'm thinking of Noah's Island (the one with the big polar bear. on a desert island. because that makes sense).

'15 Storeys High'. A British comedy show from back in 2002. Pretty recent, but i've never heard anyone mention it.

Its about Vince, a gormless lifeguard who lives in an appartment block. I know, I know, it sounds just [I]riveting[/I]. But it is truly hilarious. Especially the episode where Vince attempts to decorate his bathroom from the background of a photograph in 'Readers Wives'. All the while trying to teach a pornstar (from a magazine called "Not so Big Tits: for men who don't like really big tits or really small tits") to swim and avoid her self proclaimed "psycho" boyfriend.

Awesome TV movie: 'The Girl, The Gold Watch & Everything.' It was on once back in the early 80's, had Pam Dawber and 20+ years later I'm still sporting wood for her and fantasizing about the ability to stop time for everyone but me...

Also, there was a series, "Square Pegs" that didn't make it through a season because it was a good show. Network executives knew they had to put a stop to that, because once they let quality programming on, people would expect it and they wouldn't get away with passing off 'Cheers' as the best they had to offer.
