Mr. Belvedere, California Dreams: Get Your Pre-Order Dollars Ready.



Finally. (Again).

Remember when I blessed all of you with news of a Blossom DVD release date? My friend, thou art blessed twice more with news from a websiteth most fair.

First, Mr. Belvedere - Seasons 1 & 2, will be released on March 17th, 2009. Relive all of your favorite episodes with play-by-play episode commentary done by the legendary Bob Uecker. Who could forget episode 14, "The Contract". Kevin agrees to sign a contract stating that he will call George and Marsha if he drinks too much at his Junior prom and they promise not to be upset. He ends up getting wasted and is forced to confront the problem he attempted to mask with alcohol: his undying love for Mr. Belvedere. Fuck yeah!

And just when you thought you were done shopping, California Dreams - Seasons 1 & 2 will be released on March 24th, 2009, just one week after Mr. Belvedere's release. Are you kidding me? If you ever doubted the existence of Jesus, smote yourself. Smote anyone who gets in the way of you spending $44.99 on 31 classicly classic episodes (yes, it will be that much and yes, it will be worth it). From the friendships to the fights, the girls and the bullies, California Dreams is practically a documentary of what high school was like for all of us.

Don't wake me up...

Blossom: The Wait Is Over.

Finally.

Days, months, years in the making, Blossom Seasons 1 (and 2!) have a DVD release date set for January 27th, 2009. The process of locating Joey Lawrence alone took about 3 years. Found hidden in the outskirts of Des Moines, the "Woah" meister finally agreed to get into the commentary studio with Blossom, Anthony Russo, and Six. His main objection to joining the rest for episode commentary was that he didn't have a weird real name like they did. (Mayim Bialik, Michael Stoyanov, and Jenna von Oy!).

This is the only show to preface every single episode with "A Very Special...". I recommend episode 109, "The Date", in which Blossom is assaulted by her date. On the special scale, it's about an 8. It's also one of the only episodes I have any memory of, which is surprising since I never watched the show once in my life and nobody can really prove otherwise.

True fans of the series could still follow Jenna (Six) on TV when she joined the cast of The Parkers in 1999 on UPN. The Parkers was actually a spin-off of Blossom's seldom seen, incredibly unfunny black neighbors who are grossly overweight, beyond stupid, and once stole Six's bike in 10th grade. Thanks to Six, she carried The Parkers and helped it survive just as long as Blossom (5 Seasons. Seriously.) and over 100 episodes.

Hay hay hay.
