Well, at least it ended before it had a really strange plot and was just plain silly (see: Reunion [en.wikipedia.org])

No one's found a way to do an 80's revisted show justice without it being campy. Mad Men it is not.

@Carol Gardens: I never really watched it. And it went off the air before I could get into it. It always felt a little too Wonder Years for me. And by 1999 I wasn't going there. Not when I could watch Dawson's Creek and Felicity. Um, yeah.

@Richard Lawson: Uh, yeah. He was quite the sex muffin wasn't he? But my goodness I get him and the OC kid, Ben McKenzie, confused all the time. (Kid? What am I saying? He was like 28 playing a teen. It wasn't Luke Perry bad, I mean he still had his hair on the show, but still.)

@Carol Gardens: I'll check it out. It'll go on the list with My So Called Life and Thirtysomething. Don't ask.

I do not even watch GG and I was looking forward to this.

Perhaps, it was a misguided attempt to recreate my youth.

Are you going to elaborate, Richard, or will you leave us hanging? Did you meet someone on the rue des Francs Bourgeois?

How touching, Gawker. I can tell you really care.

Can you review last week's episode? We were not satisfied with your replacement. Too raunchy.

If you really want a look at old-timey youth culture in Venice Beach, you should be viewing Lords of Dogtown -- or, better yet, the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys.
