All your friends are getting married. Some of them are having kids. And now, in case you didn’t already feel like an overgrown child whose life is passing him by, Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence have a preteen daughter. Yes, for the past week, the internet has been abuzz with the news that a Boy Meets World sequel is in the works. Called Girl Meets World, it will focus on young Riley Matthews and her “edgy friend,” Maya. While we’re not sure that revisiting ABC’s TGIF lineup is the best idea, the update on Cory and Topanga has made us wonder what some of our other favorite ’90s teen TV characters might be up to in 2012. After the jump, we check in on (by which we mean, “we imagine”) what they’ve done since last we saw them. … Read More

TV’s Most Random Vacation Episodes
Fresh off our mid-week holiday, we began reminiscing about some of our favorite TV vacation episodes, whose details will probably remain in the “useless pieces of information” part of our brain until we die. These episodes usually weren’t great, but they’re hard to forget because they were so bizarre. Like the time Married with Children went medieval-fantasy in London, or when the Russo brothers got their own international black market sub-plot in the four-part special “Blossom in Paris.” And when, in one of the most commonly misremembered episodes in TV history, the Tanners went to Hawaii and got trapped on a deserted island. As The Onion pointed out a few years ago, the Beach Boys were not, repeat not there — although the musical denouement “Rock-a Hula” is more than worth re-visiting. Click through to see Uncle Jesse’s island concert, as well as the TV-vacations so random we swore they were conjured by the imaginations of our younger selves, until we did some fact-checking and discovered that yep, they all happened. Got a favorite you’d like to share? Let us know in the comments! … Read More
’90s TV’s Most Memorable Nerds: Where Are They Now?
Hollywood can be notoriously hard on child actors; one day they’re America’s pint-size sweetheart, and the next they’re heroin-addicted has-beens knocking on Dr. Drew’s office door. But the kids who play TV’s most recognizable geeks may have even more trouble finding their place in the industry as adults, because outside of a few sitcoms like Community and The Big Bang Theory, their archetype is far rarer in shows about adults — and unlike the jocks and cheerleaders who are their teenage cast mates, they don’t generally have the superhuman good looks that will translate to leading roles. So, as a recent article about Freaks and Geeks‘ head geek Stephen Lea Sheppard got us wondering, what has become of all those memorable ’90s TV brains that we grew up with? We check in on everyone who isn’t Alyson Hannigan (because we’re sure you know what she’s up to) after the jump. … Read More

10 Very Special Blossom Hats
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you were a female tween in the early ’90s, then you worshiped at the sartorial altar of Blossom. Known for her quirky fashion choices, particularly her inspired hats, Blossom Russo was an accessible style icon for both rebels and more conventional types alike. (While a little predictably floral at times, her look never bordered on trashy — unlike her BFF Six LeMeure, who was unhealthily obsessed with chokers.) With today’s DVD release of Blossom: 10 Very Special Episodes, we’ve decided to do our very own celebration of Blossom — by rounding up 10 very special hats. Click through let us know which one is your favorite look. … Read More
