Where Are They Now?

A well-established sitcom trick is to get the mom out of the equation and let comic mayhem ensue. ('Full House,' anyone?) Because women are no fun and men are terrible parents harharhar (*stereotypes FTW.*)

'Blossom' took it to the extreme -- the Russo family mom had left home to have her own life, leaving Blossom, her two older brothers and her dad to fend for themselves (she didn't even have the heart to die like the awesome mom on 'Full House').

History has always portrayed being geeky as an immense, life-crippling negative (at least in high school). However, today, the term "nerd" or "geek" appears to have transmogrified into a new meaning: one of power, intelligence, and believe it or not, popularity.

Over the years, Hollywood has had the ability to channel some of our most dreaded fears. But among them all one lies closest to our hearts, because, unlike a wet little girl crawling out of a television to murder you, it is real: the Bully.

'Twin Peaks' was a jolt to the television landscape when it premiered with a special two-hour episode in 1990. The campy and surreal David Lynch creation immediately became "water cooler TV," with everybody who watched the show debating who killed Laura Palmer.

Joss Whedon's idea to subvert the Hollywood formula of "the little blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed in every horror movie" first manifested itself in the 1992 film 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' which starred Kristy Swanson as the unlikely killer of vampires.

But the concept really hit its stride in 1997 with the debut of the TV show of the same name.
