9021 Whoa

So tonight I was kicking it on the futon and something amazing started happening on the TV right before my very eyes. Now before I go any further I should say that I haven't forgotten that this blog is about Full House and Full House alone but just stick with me because this relates back to it. Anyway, I have been feeling like lately I need to bring it on back to my roots and get into a show again that is more for tweens. So I have been shopping them around. Tonight I landed on the new version of Beverly Hills 90210, cleverly titled 90210.

I am sure you all remember about some of my post Full House soul searching - like my addiction to Lizzie McGuire. I am also man enough to admit that I experimented with Seventh Heaven and dabbled in My So-Called Life. None of these ever replaced Full House in my eyes but still it was nice in some ways for something new to come along and distract me. If anything watching other shows only makes me love Full House more, mostly by how they never even come close to stacking up. So other shows kind of put Full House's greatness into perspective for me.

Anyway, back to the story about how I turned on 90210. So basically I turned on 90210 and started watching it and I was enjoying it. Seeing Brenda and Kelly again was like a trip down memories lane. But then something incredible happened. There is a new guy on the show who is like the main guy who is principal of West Beverly High School. Well guess who his dang wife is? That's right, Aunt Becky.

Now I know what you are thinking - that lucky bastard. But then you are like wait a minute - she plays a mom on the show and her kids are in high school. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Aunt Becky is like 26. She would have had to have had those kids when she was like 8 or 10 years old for that to work out, which is really gross to think about.

Well I decided to just stop worrying about the age thing and trust Aunt Becky to be able to act her way out of it by acting older than she really is. All in all she did a great job at this. So I kept on watching and the show was pretty much awesome and it kind of made me sad. It's hard to admit to myself that Aunt Becky has moved on. All incredible things must pass I suppose but still, it was tough watching her.

As tough as it was though, I will be back. It's good to know Aunt Becky is ok and moving forward. I wish her the best of luck. If you're reading this, call me girl.

  2. Of course she will always be Aunt Becky but we can't hold her in Frisco forever. Aunt Becky is married to someone else now and she has a new family. I bet Jesse is raising his kids alone since Becky left him. Wait, single dad raising kids alone? I smell a premise...
