Blast From the Past: episode 1

Exhibit A:


Exhibit B:


Check out that lingo. Check out that hair. Check out that outfit! This was definately before Melissa Joan Hart became a loser and before she got old, had a baby, and complained about people still thinking she was a teenager. You know why that was, Melissey? Because you hit your peek when you were about 16. Honestly. And we all still wish so very hard that you could remain that age.

Unfortunately, this is the only clip of Clarissa Explains It All that you can get on YouTube. To that I say WTF? There are plenty of clips from The Secret World of Alex Mack (see below) and from Are You Afraid of the Dark? but no more Clarissa! We can't even see her at her prime age of 16!

Well, if you really are desperate for some of her handy knowledge, for her annoying brother Ferguson and for Sam to climb through the window and not have sex with her, then you can go to Amazon and buy the episodes on DVD. You can also get Pete & Pete (easilly) and Alex Mack if you really try (and that might be worth it)

But enough blabber, go watch some YouTube! I highly suggest Alex Mack, especially because the "mean girl" is played by a young Jessica Alba. Are You Afraid of the Dark is also great. It's still just as frightening as it was when I was a kid. If you decide to go the scarier route, make sure to scroll down about half way when you search until you see a description that says "The Lonely Ghost". That's where the episodes begin. Enjoy!
