Melrose Place: The Recaps! S1, Ep1: Pilot

“90210” Is Once Again On My DVR!

Weird as it may be, my high school could have a five-year reunion reunion! That was the last time that I wrote about “90210.” It was during about a year-long stretch wherein I had access to SOAPnet and a DVR … Continue reading

Hewlett’s Landing

Inside, there is yellow squash. There are Freihofer’s cookies, better than Entenmann’s and always on top of the refrigerator. Even when Nanny and Pop-Pop weren’t there, they were there. Nanny tried so hard to act as the homemaker, even though … Continue reading
