I would include The Secret World of Alex Mack, although that was live-action. Even with her "powers", Alex was never the popular girl or anything. To the end, she was always an ordinary girl.

I agree, it ended on a good note. The only real cliffhanger was knowing when BB's character was getting out of the hospital. Other than that, everything was wrapped up. You can say this for most films, but for this one in particular, there really was no need for a sequel.

Cupping has been around a long time (in spas), but this is the first time I've heard of athletes using it regularly. Never tried it myself, but whatever works.

Even as a kid, I knew Rocko was messed up. But I absolutely loved that show. Heffer getting jacked off by that milking machine was a classic.

The new popularity was weird, because while the old Rugrats stuff was pretty rough to look at, the newer animation looked so chintzy. I figured I was just growing out of it.

She went to Sarah Lawrence, iirc. But otherwise, she definitely had the issue of a child star (sort of) trying to do more adult roles. She had a ton of competition, too. I always liked her, and my parents used to think those At&T commercials she did were charming.

Yeah, Dil's introduction was basically my farewell to Rugrats. For one thing, the animation and the voices changed (much brighter and child-like) and I didn't give a crap about Tommy's new brother. I did like Chuckie finally getting a mother, as well as a new sister.

Cartoon-wise, around '97. The Angry Beavers was the last show I remember watching regularly. Honestly, I was in no rush to give up childhood, but I was definitely losing interest in cartoons at that point. Missed out on the Spongebob phenomenon, I've never seen an episode.

ER was one of the few shows my whole family gathered to watch, it was just that good. I was also 11. :)

Nate "Harvey" Richert is on CBS' Code Black. I think he's playing a nurse.

Ugh, I had a better reply and Disqus ate it, but didn't the success of My Best Friend's Wedding cause a resurgence of rom-coms? It definitely revitalized Julia Roberts' career.

In Cher's defense, it is a great dress. Even if it looks like underwear.

The TV adaption was so bad, but I would love to see a network like HBO do it justice. It wouldn't happen, though. Even with the adult themes, they'd still try to cater to small kids, which was why the Nickelodeon version didn't work. The books struck a good balance of teenage humor and themes like guerrilla…

My mind is still blown by those books. Some of the pop culture stuff might be dated, but those plots were engrossing.

Besides Batman & Robin and Excess Baggage (hi, Benicio!) I can't think of any other major films she did. Did Batman really torpedo her career so much that she didn't get anything else?

Donovan went through so much shit with self-image and eating disorders. It seems like she's in a really good place now. I'm glad for her.

"Where the hell are you?"
"A party."
"Where? Kuwait?!?"
"Is that in the Valley?"

Same. It didn't seem like a big deal. It seemed like it had been a quickie marriage anyway, and it took place five years before the events in the film. At the time, Cher was what, 11 years old, and Josh was 13? 5 years later is a long time when you're barely an adolescent. It would have been weird if Josh's…

I don't remember much about this series, but I do think they dumbed Cher down somewhat, so Dionne being more of a confident mouthpiece sounds familiar. Forgot that Brittany Murphy wasn't in this, although film wise, she and Rudd did better than anyone else. Still a tragic loss.

Wow, I didn't even know she and Marx were divorced, let along him being with Daisy Fuentes now.
