5. Andrew Lawrence to Joey Lawrence in Horse Sense – Disney Channel Original Movie – November 20, 1999 So fine, Andrew Lawrence doesn’t actually utter “You’re not my father,” but the meaning is all the same AND I’ve been dying to mention Horse Sense since this blog’s inception. In a classic diluted-rich-kid-learns-the-meaning-of-hard-work SLASH hardworking-poor-people-are-about-to-lose-the-family-ranch plot, little [...]

I’m not going to lie, you guys. I am REALLY excited about today’s list. I love the “You’re NOT my father!” moment of pretty much anything. One of our most gloriously over-used cliches in both TV and film, it’s pretty self-explanatory. A well-meaning authority figure tries to instill a little wisdom or caring and the [...]

by Beal In the first grade, local weatherman Kevin Orpurt visited my elementary school. The student body gathered in the gymnasium and sat on the floor (wow, this is even more low rent than I originally remembered) for Kevin’s captivating presentation about weather patterns and storm facts, probably, I can’t actually remember, because I was [...]

by Judi I’m going to start with this- casting is right up there on the list of Things In Hollywood That We Take For Granted.

by Judi Ok, fine. FINE. I admit it. I LOVE musicals. Are you happy? Are you satisfied?

by Judi 1. Saved By the Bell- “Jessie’s Song” (1990) There’s a reason why this Saved By The Bell episode is possibly the most famous “Very Special Episode” in sitcom history (so much so that it prompted a mention in Beal’s overview of today’s topic) and nothing encapsulates the After School Special/Over-Dramatic Ridiculousness of Jessie [...]
