I can only afford one episode. I would like to get into the series, but don’t know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Next will be Best episodes of Family Affair.

Hmm, I have no recollection of this “Blossom”, it sounds like an alternative title to the Britney Spears single “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman”.

You could narrow your selection to one of the “very special” episodes

The best episode of Blossom was the last episode of Blossom because it meant there would be no more episodes of Blossom.

Um, I really liked the one where Blossom got her period, and she was all upset because she didn’t have a mom to tell her all about it, so she had a dream/fantasy where Claire Huxtable (played by the real actress) baked her a pink cake and illustrated the female reproductive system on it in icing. I thought it was sweet.

I watched **Blossom**. Not religiously, but it was on the List of Required TV Shows for Adolescent Girls back when I was growing up. But the only episode I remember is that period one that **Zsofia** mentioned.

Really, the only impression that I got from **Blossom** was that she reminded me of one of my friends during that time. They dressed the same way.

Sadly, Jenna von Oy http: // www. lazygirls .info/people/jenna\_von\_oy/jenna\_von\_oy\_maxim\_wayoEyn.sized.jpg–link not work safe), though quite comely later in life, had not yet achieved hottiness during this series; and Joey Lawrence was never mauled by a deinonychus on screen; thus there are no good episodes of Blossom.

I always liked the one where Blossom agonized over whether or not she should have sex with her boyfriend.

Wait, that was what every episode was about!

I had to [google it up on youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYCSCbqbdJA) to even remember what you were talking about. Never watched a single episode so no idea… except the one where[Blossom uses the word" Bitch" and “Fuck You”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiqIdPioInM&feature=related) a lot. That Blossom is feisty!

In the first season of Blossom, the idea was she’d go off into flights of fanciable daydreaming, not unlike JD does in _Scrubs_, and it was quite quirky. But they seemed to abandon that idea when Joey started being the main reason the girlies were tuning in, and then they started having guest stars who could sing, like Melissa Manchester, and it all went spiraling into crap.

I remember one scene where Six (Jenna Von Oy) was sitting alone in her bedroom, singing **You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.**  
and my jaw dropped to the floor.

There was an episode where Tony, who had been straight and sober for over a year, drank about 3/4 of a bottle of vodka and came in the next day without even a hangover.

BTW, Michael Stoyanov, who played Tony, is one of my favorite actors and the only reason I watched the show.
