Boob Tube Babble: Retro TV edition

Boob Tube Babble
Hello lovelies! Its Friday Friday I CANT BELIEVE ITS FRIDAY!
Actually I can this week has dragged the eff on!
Anywho my weekend involves seeing Mr Brad Paisley and Mr Blake Shelton in concert AND going to see Crazy Stupid Love to Im a happy girl 🙂 
OK so on with BTB today I want to talk about TV shows I miss and may or may not still watch in reruns or on Netflix or because I own the DVDs 🙂
1. The OC….CALLLLLIFOOORNNNIA HERE WE COOOOOOOOME
You know you all just got that stuck in your head now didnt you? 🙂
I hate Marissa Cooper. THere I said it. I hated her. I was hoping she’d die in that Ally in TJ in season one….sadly I had to wait 3 full seasons of her whiny, alchy, B.S.! So here is a Marissa Cooper montage for ya….did you hate her too? I was a summer fan all the way!

2. The Torkelsons: It was my favorite show when I was little…and seriously if I saw it on TV now I’d totes watch it! Do you remember it?
3. My childhood favorites: These need no explanations and most likely you watched them too

I think this needs to be a several part series…Ill be back with more in the future
Your turn! Link up and let us know what you watched, what you missed, or what you look forward to!

    I LOVED the Torkelsons! Totally forgot about that show until I heard the lovely theme song and saw Connie Ray’s gorgeous face. 🙂 Also BSC FTW!

    I hated Marissa so much!! And loved the Torkelsons– the little blonde boy was so cute! (Is he the same guy that plays Mouth on One Tree Hill?? I’m gonna have to do some research…)

    OMG! I loved the Torkelson’s! Dorothy Jane was so funny! And Michael Landes (the first Jimmy on Lois and Clark), was the cute neighbor.

    I also loved The Babysitter’s Club. Don’t laugh, but I still have some commercial VHS tapes of some episodes of the BSC!

  11. I legit LOVED the Torkelsons! And then didn’t they change the name of the show at some point? I was just trying to tell someone about this show the other day, and they had no idea what I was talking about. Ohhh I loved Dorothy Jane talking to the man in the moon!

    First off, I loved the OC. I loved Marissa (she was whiny though) but Summer was my favorite!

    Also, Babysitters Club and Muppet Babies?! WIN! I loved them both. I love all things Muppets and I’m super excited for the new Muppet movie!

    YES! The OC is awesome… I wish I had the DVDs! Marissa was lame but entertaining in a trainwreck kinda way.
    My main Retro TV obsession (and BFs too) is 90210. In fact, there is a bar called the after dark a few blocks from my placae and I SOOO want to go just because it reminds me of 90210

    I loved the O.C. I definitely liked Summer better. I also loved The Torkelsons and the spin-off show, Coming Home. Plus, I couldn’t get enough of The Babysitter’s Club. I had all the books and watched the movie hundreds and hundreds of times.
