My husband and I try not to be an annoying couple that brags about not watching TV, but for the most part, we don't watch TV...Excluding (obviously) that sweet, sweet Bachelory time of year when NOT watching means missing out on fantastic break room conversation and numerous opportunities to make fun of foolish women.
After weekends upon weekends of back to back plans, dressing up, packing bags, "crafting" and everything else that busy weekends entail... I got my TV on (you can take that as 1. I am trying to sound "ghetto" and "cool" or 2. I literally turned my TV on to watch it.
Much like my taste in music, I prefer the 90's hits much more than what is on the tube these days. I do give present shows a shot. Just last week I tried to get into some Law & Order SVU (being that it's all the rage). Man, could that show get any Rape-ier? Ugh. I lasted about 2 minutes.
So, with a comfortable fort built in the living room, I embarked on a season and a half of PARTY OF FIVE. Anybody?
And if you thought I was bragging before, get a load of this- I didn't have to look up any of those names! Whoa. Here is my very official review of this 90's gem:

And if you thought I was bragging before, get a load of this- I didn't have to look up any of those names! Whoa. Here is my very official review of this 90's gem:
***** (those are 5 stars) for Cast.
I mean really, who better to play the complicated, lady killer Charlie? Not only can Matt Fox get off a mysterious island in 2010, he can also raise his brothers and sisters (that range from baby to 16) at the spry age of 24. I wish Neve Cambell wasn't out of breath at the end of every sentence but I'm learning to deal with it. Obviously "Bailey" just needs a little love and guidance, and he'll be just fine. Gretchen Weiners, what a sweet little violinist you were. I'm guessing (more like hoping) we're the same age now, but I still want to give you a big hug in those little overalls!
***** for Setting
Since it's based in the Bay Area, my husband is remotely interested and that's good enough for me. He could also have a secret crush on "Kirsten."

I don't pretend to be Roger Ebert (now you've got two 90's references on this lovely Monday) so that's all I have to say in my review.
I think you should go watch Party of Five now.
Good Night.
