Girl Power, Hard Issues and Trouble: How an Unlikely Sitcom Became a Hit

 

In 1991, amidst Home Improvement, Doogie Howser, M.D. and The Wonder Years, a new TV show gave viewers a hard-hitting look at life from a girl's perspective.

 

As you'll see in Blossom: The E! True Hollywood Story premiering Aug. 21 at 8 p.m., the coming-of-age story with a twist made an impact, even while enduring its own share of tears and tragedy.

 

Critics gave it mixed reviews and took issue with Mayim Bialik, the show's 15-year-old unconventional-looking star. But Blossom bloomed and beat the odds, combining timely topics with comedy in a way no other sitcom had done before.

 

Watch Blossom: The E! True Hollywood Story, and see how a show about an absent mom, a substance-abusing son and a lonely little girl raised by a single dad touched the hearts and lives of a generation.

 

 

This one should be.......interesting. I guess.

Whoa.

Blossom was a generic show that only lasted as long as it did for two reasons: the idiot Joey Lawrence and the fact that NBC gave it a plum scheduling slot by way of putting it on after "Fresh Prince of Belle Aire", to such an extent that the ratings bottomed out like hell when they moved it to NBC's Saturday night line-up and was quickly moved back to leech off of Will Smith's proverbial heat.

 

That said, expect the show to over-inflate the show's importance in the grand scheme of things and portray Joey Lawrence as a Travolta level teen idol, instead of the untalented hack and pathetic joke he really was....

So is this "a very special episode" of THS?

Don't understand the hate. Always liked this show.

Blossom always struck me as the show that tried to be dramatic but couldn't pull it off right.

Every time I think of "Blossom", I think of that SNL skit with the daughter from "Rosanne" that had Mike Myers as Joey Lawrence.

 

"Those are't condoms! They're balloons, for a party!"

That show was terrible, it was so bland and generic. The only thing it had going for it was the strange popularity of Joey Lawrence.

 

I remember the SNL skit where Mike Myers played Joey Lawrence and they did an episode of Blossom and afterwards the announcer was like "Stay tuned for the new Joey Lawrence music video!" It was just Joey Lawrence kind of dancing around with background dancers repeatedly saying "Whoa!' over some cheesy keyboard.

Jenna Von Oy being the one that couldn't get a man and Blossom being the one getting guys all the time made the show too unbelieveable to me.

[Guest JMA]

I never really watched the show. I may have seen an episode or two, but that's it.

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

The only funny thing I remember from that show is when the dad found a joint and he thought it was Joey Lawrence's.

Well Lawrence thought he was talking about a condom that he had in his wallet so they had a funny exchange.

"I was just going to carry it around in my wallet! Try to be cool!"

"I know son but pretty soon you're buying them all the time. Using it all the time. You'll be passing them around to your friends and doing it at parties!"

 

That was jist of it. It was pretty funny.

And as far as I'm concerned that was the ONLY funny thing to come from the existence of that show.

That picture of Mayem Bialek or however you spell it just made me LOL. I'm not repulsed or anything, just looks like a funny picture clown face thing.

What about the time that Blossum impressed a boy by her ability to do simple math and talk at the same time. I think Joey wanted his batting average or something and she continued talking to the boy and gave him the average and it apparently got the boy HAWT for Blossum.

 

Cause we all know in the real world, basic math skills are what really do it for the fellas.
