Its back on Nickolodeon !
I loved this show and its nice to see that its still funny to me now, even though its been about 10 years.
I thought Six was so cool that I started talking really quickly just to be like her - a habit I still haven't grown out of, meaning that I get low marks for all my oral presentations.

Someone went to the loo once on Blossom, I can remember that. And Joey Whatsisname who tried to be a popstar was in it.

I was addicted to Blossom, but I fucking hated the bird who played her, which is largely why I loved the show. AS IF she would have ever pulled that Vinnie bloke...and SHE was the one putting the hold on them having sex. Oh yeah because they were fucking queuing up!
The show went completely mental towards the end, one minute the eldest brother was just a boring big-nosed bastard, the next he's a junkie, THEN he's a paramedic. Six also went through an incredibly rapid transformation into a sex crazed alchie. She was easily the best charachter, it should have been "Six" and not "Blossom".
Joey had the most resplendent mullet in televisual history. His pop career was highly cringeworthy. Am I the only one who remembers his pant soilingly brutal "My Cherie Amour" on the show (as sung to a feotus)?
And what was the deal with Blossom's mum? Could she have been the most rubbish mum ever?
Quality theme by Dr Hook.

I think I may leave work at 3pm today so as to be home and ready in time for Blossom. It clashes with BBLB, though.

It clashes with BBLB, though. That was the dilemma I faced last night. Luckily there are repeats of both (on E4 and Nick replay).

Blossom was brilliant. I fondly remember the opening credits, with her trying to dance around a strange set (which appears to be the photo studio of Olan Mills in Reading), weighed down by her enormous nose. Not to mention the lyrical genius of "in my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine". Opinionation? Don't you want to be a writer, Blossom love? My favourite storyline was the one where the thick brother was trying to find ways to cheat for a test. At the end of the episode he passed the test because he hid all the facts he needed "in his head". Oh, hilarity.

Six was fantastic, and this was pre-Clueless right? I wanted to look just like six, she was so so cute and funky.

It seems that they're showing the episodes out of order as after that one (about the 7th in season 1), they showed the 2nd episode. Which is annoying. Yeah her mum was in Paris because there were like 3 episodes dedicated to Blossom being over there and trying to decide whether to stay there or not.

My favourite episode, or at least the one that has stuck with me all these years, is where Anthony wakes up in bed after getting reallyyy drunk, next to this strange woman (who it turns out he got married to) and he realises he's naked and is all 'Oh God, oh God' and then she says 'Yeah I tried calling him a few times too.'

Aha, the bastard offspring of My Two Dads. A classic case of let's hire a cute kid and watch him/her be transformed into a mutant by the ravages of puberty. I think Barbra Streisand must have been sniffing around backstage in the latter series waiting to get her nose back. (Maybe that's why she was so quiet in the 90s . . .) Was it my imagination, or did the junkie brother turn up in Ally McBeal? I *hearted* Joey in a semi-repressed gay adolescent way. He even moved me to buy a white v-necked t-shirt in tribute. Cute even with hindsight, but mostly in an early 90s gay porn sort of way.

D'you know, I was just thinking the other day, "why isn't Blossom being repeated on multichannel? It jolly well should be." And now it is! Hurrah!
*thinks "why doesn't Andrew from CBBC write me love letters?", just in case this is the beginnings of some super-cool power of premonition or something*
I loved the Blossom in Paris episodes. The best bit was when she met the girl at the hot chocolate stand who looked like Six, but couldn't quite get across this fact because of the language barrier.
BLOSSOM: One - hot - chocolate - please. "SIX": Oui. BLOSSOM: (looking more closely) Six? "SIX": (in French, but I won't even try to remember the translation) You want six hot chocolates?
And further hilarious misunderstandings.
