Primetimer October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 We finally meet a member of Andrea's family -- and, lucky for us, it's obviously the very best one. What up, Grandma Rose! Read the story Link to comment

txhorns79 October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Ah yes, the episode that introduces us to the sad fiddles of broken Jewish families. 2 Link to comment
Cekrypton1 October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Oh, Jennifer Runyon, 80s TV's go to blonde. Has anyone checked IMDB to see if she is January Jones' mother? 1 Link to comment
Halo October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 (edited) Oh, Jennifer Runyon, 80s TV's go to blonde. Has anyone checked IMDB to see if she is January Jones' mother? She was kind of the budget Elizabeth Shue back in the 80s. I mostly remember her from Charles in Charge, which I watched religiously as a kid, but, yeah, she guested on a ton of stuff.

ErinW October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Oh, Jennifer Runyon, 80s TV's go to blonde. Thank you for saving me a Google. Yes her, of course, also the girl from Venkman's first scene in Ghostbusters where he helps her cheat at being psychic. 1 Link to comment

itainttippithebird October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Steve and Kelly just straight up bailing without so much as a goodbye during Andrea's "good luck" party was hilarious and insane. I've always loved/hated 90210 for being one of those shows where people hang up without any kind of goodbye, but peacing out in person is next level. Amazing. Grandma Rose's caftans were EV.ER.Y.THING. Link to comment
DonitsYum October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Around this time is when Priestly's sideburns and forehead started morphing to Perry-sized proportions Link to comment
Hollysdower October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Didn't Steve and Ohhhhndrea do it, or at least heavily make-out, in the season 1 episode "It's Only a Test," while studying for the SATs? The whole "Do you like me/why" thing by the jukebox seems kinda strange considering their past indiscretion...it should have been a lot more awkward, I think. But I don't mean to sound a little...continuous. Link to comment
Kristen October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 (edited) Who dresses like that for an R.E.M. concert? At this point they were still kind of a college rock, indie-ish band. And these kids wouldn't like R.E.M. anyway, but Out of Time had just come out and they were getting popular, so I guess this made sense to people at the time. Oh, 90's TV, you rascal! And they totally stole that whole entering someone into a writing contest and getting them in trouble with the law thing from the Mario Lopez episode of The Golden Girls.

penguinnj October 8, 2015 Share October 8, 2015 Just because I am a gigantic doofus- yet another example of Donna eating chocolate (Andrea's cake)- which she is "allergic" too during the cousin Gina years. And it's not the first time. Hiding head in shame. 1 Link to comment
MyAimIsTrue October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Grandma Rose's caftans were EV.ER.Y.THING. My grandmother's shmattas were nowhere near as nice. 1 Link to comment

John Ramos October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 And they totally stole that whole entering someone into a writing contest and getting them in trouble with the law thing from the Mario Lopez episode of The Golden Girls. And the Golden Girls neeeeeeever saw him again. 4 Link to comment
Nannchez October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Lainey Kazan is only 21 years older than Gabrielle Carteris. Just putting that out there. Link to comment
StatMom October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Yeah, Grandma Rose doesn't look quite old enough to be Ohhhhndrea's grandmother. And what the heck is behind the picture of Andrea and her mother? From the pic here, it appears to be a... beach ball with dinosaurs??? 1 Link to comment
Tooch October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 I think there were a few Grandma Roses during the years but this one was the best!! I still die inside at fucking Andrea trying to compare lying about your address to go to a fancy school to HIDING FROM NAZIS during THE HOLOCAUST. It is why the phrase "I can't even" was invented. 3 Link to comment
MyAimIsTrue October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Yeah, Grandma Rose doesn't look quite old enough to be Ohhhhndrea's grandmother. Lainie Kazan was nowhere near old enough but I love her as an actress so I tried very hard to believe it, and speaking as someone who had two Jewish grandmothers she nailed the role. 1 Link to comment
MyAimIsTrue October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Oh, Jennifer Runyon, 80s TV's go to blonde. Has anyone checked IMDB to see if she is January Jones' mother? Also the fake Cindy Brady in the very bad 'Very Brady Christmas' movie. Link to comment

I remember being super annoyed, as only a pretentious indie-ish teenager can be, at the sudden popularity of R.E.M. among the trendoids at my high school after "Shiny Happy People," aka the worst R.E.M. song of all time, was a Top 40 hit. I wonder if Warner records didn't grease the palms of the 90210 producers to feature their bands, too. Edited October 9, 2015 by Halo 2 Link to comment

I wonder if Warner records didn't grease the palms of the 90210 producers to feature their bands, too. I was only in Jr. high at the time, but as I got older, I always assumed "Shiny Happy People" was, knowing R.E.M., meant to be ironic. Apparently it is not, and even Michael Stipe hates it. Oy, But it's totally a song that this crew would have liked (along with the angsty "Losing My Religion" of course...which, I don't care how commercially popular it got, I still love unironically, btw). These kids, at least the original Bev Niners (Kelly, Steve, Donna), they'd like whatever was popular whether it's clothes or music or whatever because they're so "trendoid", ya know.

It is why the phrase "I can't even" was invented. Obviously, Andrea deserved a slap across the face for the comment. However, it did strike me as a teenager-y thing to say, only because someone that "young" doesn't necessarily have the sense of proportion and self-awareness to realize the stupidity of what they are saying. 2 Link to comment
AndySmith October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Are we supposed to like or dislike popular song ironically or unironically? I'm so confused. Then again, I never really cared whether something was like by pretentious indies or trendoids, if I liked something, I liked it. I can kind of see the gang following whatever is trendy at the time...which is basically whatever the producers would have thought kids would be listening to. Much like producers thinking high school kids would wear blazers to rock concerts... 2 Link to comment
FozzyBear October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Lainey Kazan is only 21 years older than Gabrielle Carteris. Just putting that out there. Which made her what at the time? Early 70s? Ha I kid. You know who's not a kid? Gabrielle Carteris. I snorted when the reporter accused her of having mature taste. For a middle aged actress? Or a middle aged high school student? 1 Link to comment
