Blossom

I've watched this so many times times over the years, and it never gets old. I always enjoyed Blossom, especially in this day and age where the world is so different from how it was 30+ years ago, Blossom gives that early 90's vibe which just feels so nostalgic yet so amazing. The show itself is extremely underrated, and really hilarious. I highly recommend this show, absolutely love it!

Blossom wasn't supposed to be "MacBeth". Okay, there was a lot of fluff and silliness in the show -- sometimes embarrassingly so. But I had three teenage daughters during it's run and the show opened a lot of opportunity for us to talk about important things.

I will always remember this show with great fondness and Bill Bixby has been a favorite since the old "Courtship of Eddie's Father" series (yes, I'm THAT old!). He brought class to everything he touched.

Blossom was the name of the youngest sibling of the Russo family played by Mayim Bialik. Puberty had kicked in with her, but she was a smart kid. She also had a best friend played by Jenna Van Oy who would lead her astray, but never too far.

Blossom and her two brothers were being raised by a single father. I'm glad the producers resisted the urge to make the father an idiot as happens often. Nor was he the all wise elder who gave good advice on all occasions. Ted Wass was a musician a really hip and smart sort of guy who more often let situations play themselves out to teach lessons.

They never really developed the oldest brother Michael Stoyanov's character and I can't recall he carried an episodes. Joey Lawrence who was the middle child was a breakout star from Blossom. He was sweet, dumb, naive and hunky a pretty impressive combination to pull off, but Lawrence did it.

Blossom itself was a charming and hip show for the early 90s.

It was not only funny, but a lot of the situations that Blossom went through was what I experienced as a teenager growing up and therefore I could relate to. It had a positive message in educating young people about issues such as alcohol, drugs and teenage pregnancy. It also showed what it's like for a single father to raise three children and his fear for the dates that his daughter brings home and above all how to overcome their problems as a family unit. Many stars fade out past their teens, but Joey Lawrence's career has esculated further as a result of Blossom's success so it couldn't been all that bad for him, playing a complete dimwit.

Blossom is definitely a classic show, which will be remembered forever by all those who watched it. The show is about teenager Blossom Russo, played brilliantly by Mayim Bialik. She lives with her father, Nick (Ted Wass.) and her two brothers, Joey (Cute Joey Lawrence.) and Anthony. (Michael Stoyanov.) and has a boy crazy 'chatterbox' best friend, Six. ( Jenna von Oÿ.) The show follows Blossom's life, with her ups and downs, her boyfriends and of course, her family life and much more. There's a great cast in the show, including, the special guests that have appeared. I love the theme song to the show too. It's really great. One more mention to the brilliant Mayim Bialik, who is a fantastic actress. (And, has a GREAT great sense too.) I hope to see more of her in the future. Blossom is an award winning 10/10 show.
