Best of Pauly Shore...
More affectionately known as ‘the weasel’, Paul Montgomery “Pauly” Shore is one of the most lovable, d-bag/has-beens in show biz.  Well, I wouldn’t go so far as to say lovable, but you catch my drift.  I would argue that his heyday was from ‘92-’96 where he...
Revenge of Plaid & Flannel!...
What was once part of the signature grunge look is making a stylish comeback. Plaid and flannel. Together or separately, you don’t have to pair it with ripped jeans or pretend to like coffee, poetry and hard alternative rock this time around to make it work. The new age of plaid is coming in all...
Notorious B.I.G. On Martin...
Biggie Smalls made a guest appearance as himself on Martin in 1995 and it turned into a hilarious episode as everyone in town tried to audition for Biggie.  Here it is in 3 parts:
Is There A Supporting Actress Curse?...

Let me start by saying that I have a love/hate relationship with the Oscars.

I love the couture, the self-indulgent speeches (especially that awkward moment when the violins cue up drowning out the winners), the forced comedy bits and yes, rooting for my personal faves.

more cavities please…...

I wasn’t allowed to eat any junk food growing up in the early 90’s…no chips, no chocolate, no cereal with an animated animal on the box — but that all changed once the bus dropped me off at school. Back in the day sugary treats were traded and popularity status hinged upon what you were snackin on.

The Birth of Reality TV...
MTV definitely hit the jackpot with the first ever reality series The Real World. I can’t imagine the show would be in it’s 21st season had producers moved forward with the original premise based on a set of “strangers” recreating characters and a basic storyline. Instead they...
Theme Me Up, Scotty...

Resolving even the most troubling situations in a mere 30 minutes remains a memorable attribute to many 90s sitcoms.  What oftentimes goes unnoticed, however, are the theme songs that fit a show’s entire premise into lyrics that last a mere 2 minutes or less.  Regardless of what episode you are watching, you never have to ask for the background.  The theme song lays it all out at the very beginning of each and every show.  And it rhymes!

This Week In The 90s: 2/15 - 2/21...
The only notable pop culture occurrence in the 90’s during this week was the shooting of rapper Big L on February 15, 1999.
A Coming of Age Tale Starring Me and Wre...
Wreckx-N-Effect had a profound impact on my high school experience.  But before I jump right into why & how, the following details must be shared: The year was 1993.  I was a Freshman, 14 to be exact. If I’m being generous with myself, I was creeping up on the end of the horror that was my...
Craptastic Movies Of The 90s: Double Dr...
That’s right, someone thought it would be a good idea to make a movie based off the popular video game Double Dragon.  Of course it was horrendous, but check out the cast: Scott Wolf - Billy Lee, the blue ninja brother guy Alyssa Milano - Leader of the “The Power Corps” gang and looking...
