Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000)

Funniest, and most realistic show of the season!!!

[26 September 1999]

This is the funniest new show of the new season. Beleive me this is no Dawson's, no 90210, no Party of Five. It is a complete 180 from anything ever made about high school life. While I was watching it I couldn't help but say, "Oh my God, that is so me," or "That's so like that guy." I mean, it's just really refreshing to see NBC put out a show like this for high school students like me, and the other freaks and geeks.

Also, you gotta love that time slot, 8:00 on a Saturday night, who else but the Freaks and Geeks, would be home to watch.

The Parent Trap (1998)

I was skeptical at first, but this really was an adorable movie

[30 August 1999]

Beleive you me was i skeptical of this movie. First of all the original is a highly regarded film in my house. If it's on t.v the world stops for it. And beleive me when I first heard about the remake i was very very angry because hardly ever does a remake even compare to the original. I didn't understand it of course. Especially how a movie like that cold work in the 90's. I mean reality check what court, let alone parents, in the world would decide to split up a pair of twins let each parent have one never let them even know about the other one and never let them see each one ever again? Puh-Leeze. But boy was I ever wrong.

This movie has every bit as much charm as the original and it's ending (I won't give it away) makes much more sence than the original, they-just-get-together-without-talking-any-of-there- problems-out original.

And huge props to Lindsy Lohen on the accents. I am very big on accents and was overwhelmed at how good she was. I see big things for her.

So go see it. It's truly captivating.
