As it turns out, very few TV shows make much sense. From crazy plot concoctions to questionable directing choices, we’re meant to let our imagines soar past any inherent flaws. Of course, as a young child, I did not think twice about the premise of these shows. They provided 30 minutes of giggling and excitement and who was I to question that? But now, I’m older, wiser, and an English major who is still equally addicted to TV… so I feel like it’s time to start pointing out some of the problems. Especially with Tia and Tamara returning to TV, engaged and pregnant.

Stop whatever you’re doing right now.

I have big news, ladies. Huge.

Apparently Jimmy Fallon is determined to have the set of Saved by the Bell reunited on his show. And he just got one step closer because Elizabeth Berkley, who played Jesse, along with Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, and Dennis Haskins, has agreed to participate if such a reunion were to take place. The only hold outs left are Kelly and Screech! So keep your fingers crossed, because I for one would give up sweatpants to see this happen. It’s that huge.

But that’s not the only reunion show I’d kill for. There are so many great canceled shows out there, and so many casts I would love to see reunited. I want to know where those characters would be now, and what my pre-teen crushes currently look like. (Fingers crossed their not all fat and balding.) I want answers to questions the show never answered and flashbacks to my favorite scenes, and never before seen scenes. I want reunions, dammit!

Starting with these 5 shows….

So let’s be real, we all cried a little bit when we found out Brad and Jen were splitting, and some of us are still sticking pins in our Angelina Jolie voodoo dolls not over it. In fact, thanks to our obsession with celebrities, faux-lebrities and TV/movies, we often find ourselves more invested in Hollywood/fictional couples than we do in our own relationships.

But who can blame us? It doesn’t take a Patti Stanger to know that our hot-wings-eating, HALO-playing, Edward-40-hands-lovin’ boy toys pale in comparison to the romantic, doting, sexy Prince Charmings we see in our weekly tabloids and primetime TV shows.

What girl wouldn’t yearn for her very own vampire (think True Blood, not Twilight)? Or an Upper East Side romance? The picture perfect couples are everywhere we look, and even if we aren’t half of one, it’s the holiday of looooove (duh, Valentine’s Day, people) so let’s melt, ooze and swoon over some of our favorite duos.

You didn’t leave all your work until Sunday night did you? What!?! You did. That’s okay. No stress. You’ll get it all done. We’re so sure that you’ll get it all done that we’re giving you a few more excuses to procrastinate.

You’re welcome.

It might be 2010, but here at CollegeCandy we’re still stuck in the ’90s. All you have to do is say Chumbawhumba and we’re off and running on a ’90s nostalgia debate that lasts the entire day. We know we’re not the only people out there that still rock out to N’Sync and still remember the desperation you felt when you lost your favorite Pogs slammer. So instead of constantly arguing amongst the CollegeCandy team, we decided to throw the question out to our readers and choose, once and for all, what is the best thing to come from the ’90s (besides our many devoted readers, of course).

So, in the fashion of every guy’s wet dream, March Madness, we’ve created an “I Love the ’90s” bracket. We’ve been narrowing down the best of the best of our favorite decade for awhile now and it’s getting INTENSE. Zack Morris is OUT. Spice Girls are IN. Clinton and Lewisky CREAMED Pam Anderson’s sex tape. (OK, bad choice of words….)

And somehow, Cory and Topanga are still in the game? WTF?

But that’s the whole reason we’re doing this (it’s a good thing the Olsen twins still have that clothing line….) and we’re excited to narrow it down even further today. We’re focused on the Elite 8 today. Who’s gonna make it to round 6? Will Cory and Topanga be able to take down TGIF? Can the Tamagatchi woop Super Nintendo’s ass? We won’t know until you cast your vote.

So vote now and then come back Thursday you can keep letting us know what is the best thing to ever come from the 1990 and beyond. Read More »

Polls are closed on this portion of the bracket, but vote on Pastimes and Events right here.

So, in the fashion of every guy’s wet dream, March Madness, we’ve created an “I Love the ’90s” bracket. Today we’re voting on the best of entertainment and trends from our favorite decade, and on Thursday we’ll narrow down our ’90s pastimes and events. Keep checking back every Monday and Thursday this month so you can keep letting us know what is the best thing to ever come from the 1990 and beyond.

P.S. We know, we know – we’re missing a lot. It was a hard decision narrowing it down to 64 awesome things and we’re still upset that there’s no face-off between Britney and Christina. Did we miss something major? Let us know in the comments. Read More »

You would never think it would be that difficult to put on a little blush, but based on all the girls I’ve seen who looked like they just stepped out of an episode of Saved By The Bell, you’d be wrong. So very wrong.

It makes me sad when I see pretty girls looking like they just finished a dance recital.  I mean, makeup is supposed to enhance your beauty and look natural, not scare people away. And this couldn’t be more true than with blush. It’s not supposed to be caked on those cheeks – it’s meant to accentuate them and make them subtly stand out.

So let me show you all how to do it right so you don’t end up looking like Kelly Kapowski at prom. And if you already know what you’re doing, well, a little refresher can’t hurt, right? (And by refresher I mean “something to do instead of study for 5 minutes”).

Maybe that single dad show will happen, after all.

Screech’s tell-all is out!

Is that college degree really necessary?

Tyson Beckford has the hots for Obama.

Live large with these giant accessories.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian get serious.

I remember crying as I packed for college a gazillion years ago and freaking out that I would never really be coming home again in the same way. But, the second I got home for Thanksgiving break, I realized exactly how wrong I was about that. My house was just as I left it (minus a few things my sister borrowed, stretched out, and left in the trunk of the car) and despite being insanely more educated, my family didn’t treat me any differently. I still fought with my sister over the remote (The Nanny reruns, really?), I still was expected to help with the dishes (ugh), and I still had to tell my mom in excruciating detail where I was going when I left the house.

However this past June when I left to go to New York I went through the exact same emotions, overly dramatic arm flailing and unattractive tears galore as I packed up. And once again, I proved myself wrong. I went home this past week to take a break from adult responsibilities, such as job hunting and obsessively updating my Linkedin and I discovered that still nothing changed. Read More »

Unlike most politicians, Barney Frank doesn’t mince words.

Mr. Belding’s back. And he sings.

Well, that kid’s gonna be totally effed up.
