You know you love me! -- That's right, let's start with some Gossip Girl. I'm not trying to get into the blogging habit of reviews for TV shows, so I'll just point out one observation I've made. I feel like the blondness of Serena and the brunetteness of Blair is similar to that of the girls from The O.C., Marissa and Summer -- only like much richer, better with their lingo (very Dawson's Creek meets Masterpiece Theatre) and of course, the guys are hotter on this show.
But like really, when I was 17, I didn't have the same thoughts these characters do. Really, it was like "Who's going to be the lucky person to drive around Fair Lawn tonight before ending it late night at the diner?" I mean, really?

Follow me here: First episode, Kelly Taylor is on the phone with someone and says something along the lines of 'He misses you too -- gotta go though, he's coming in' and quickly rushes off the phone because her spawn wants to come sit on her lap.
Cut to: Porch conversation with Kelly and Brenda. Brenda tells Kelly, "Spoke with Brandon, says he misses you." To which Kelly replies, "Yes, I spoke with him earlier tonight." -- so right there and then, I made the deduction of Brandon Walsh as baby daddy. Boy was I thrown for a loop this week.
Fresh Prince of BelAir- love that show. But who's with me here? When you watch the beginning intro song, you see this older woman with white hair and a hairnet pointing a finger in your face for the lyric of "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in BelAir." Imagine my surprise when the mom looked absolutely nothing like that.
I recently went to Miami for a long weekend of fun-in-the-sun bachelorette party madness. I came away with one very serious observation: People in Miami are NICE and people in NYC suck. That's all.
I don't (nor will I ever) watch Gossip Girl or any show with a Zip Code or other element of a California address in the title. However, I am an avid Fresh Prince fan (daily reruns on TheN network!). My theory on the whole mom-swap thing is that from the beginning they never intended to have her on the show. She doesn't appear until a few seasons into the series. I'm pretty sure it was one of those out-of-place, serious episodes, probably an attempt to steal ratings from a competing drama or something. The funny part is that Jazz actually acknowledges it - he says something like "hey, you look different, did you do something with your hair?"
