Why does Hollywood think they can keep a franchise alive when the creator says they don’t want to do another one? Everything Eli Roth created with the first two Hostels was completely negated by the trailer for the third one. Things I will not be checking into is to the soft core torture porn version of the Hostel franchise.
Before Rachel Bilson finished med school in Hart of Dixie, she was in college in Sorority Crime Fighters. How cute does that 18 year old look as a blonde back in 2000?
During the ’70s ’80s and ’90s sitcoms with teenagers would have a “Very Special Episode” that dealt with issues likes drugs, virginity, smoking and so on. For some reason sitcoms no longer do them, could it be we have tackled all those trying issues and everything is resolved. Or did writers stop caring about being the voice for PSAs. C’mon Jake on Two and a Half Men can have drinking problem. One of the teens on Modern Family could try smoking. I Hate My Teenage Daughter, if it sees a second episode, could do a coming out special. The options are endless and there has to be a way to bring them back.
But until then we can watch some of the most memorable “Very Special Episodes” from Saved by the Bell, Family Matters, Full House, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Home Improvement, Family Ties, Degrassi, Diff’rent Strokes, The Cosby Show, Punky Brewster, Captain Planet, Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs, Mr. Belvedere, Lizzie McGuire and Beverly Hills 90210 in the above video. The only problem I have with that brilliant video that PleatedJeans posted on YouTube is they didn’t include The Facts of Life. They had more “Very Special Episodes” than any other show!!!
Justin Bieber will get to stay up past midnight on New Year’s Eve because the 17 year old is performing at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Hopefully Ryan Seacrest will have plenty of milk and cookies ready for the Baby Baby because he might get cranky because he staying up after his bedtime.
Besides the hottest teenager of 2011 rocking the night away, Lady Gaga will also be performing. So the biggest acts of the year will be welcoming in 2012, and I have to wonder if we still will after the ball drops?
