The Tales of Missus P.

Just watching the intro to this makes me homesick for Florida when I was a teenager. The girls were all funny, and the idea of having a business of your own, making your own rules, and working from home really appealed to me.

Personally, I wasn’t a fan of Bernice’s character, and once Charlene and Suzanne (great name) were off the show, it just wasn’t as good.

80’s honourable mentions: Dear John, Different Strokes, A Different World, Double Dare.

90’s honourable mentions: Dawson’s Creek (I watched these later in syndication), Doogie Howser M.D., Dharma and Greg (I watched these, but they were kind of boring. Loved Jenna Elfman though. Who, btw, is in a Depeche Mode video: Halo.)

I absolutely adored this show. It was like a younger, female version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Melissa Joan Hart played the lead, Clarissa Darling (great name), before she was Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, and our beloved Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins (another great name) wrote for the show.

80s honourable mentions: Charlie Brown, Captain Kangaroo, China Beach, Care Bears, Cheers, The Cabbage Patch, Cagney and Lacey, The Cosby Show.

90s honourable mentions: CBS School Break Special, China Beach, Christy (I need to see these), Clueless TV Show, Cold Case Files.

The 90s gave us our favourite teen drama. Beverly Hills 90210. I never missed an episode, and I remember being outraged when Tori Spelling wore Doc Martens with hot pants. Those were the days.

80’s television shows that I really enjoyed when I was a kid: The A-Team and Alf. I use to have a talking Alf doll as a kid too. Loved that thing.

90’s TV honourable mentions: ABC After School Special, America’s Most Wanted, Almost Perfect, Arsenio Hall Show.
