Clarissa Explains It All
Over lunch the other day the staff in the FemaleFirst office got chatting about the TV shows we use to love as a kid, I mean everything from the High School likes of the kids in Sweet Valley High and Saved By The Bell, to the super power stories of Sabrina The Teenage Witch, The Secret Life Of Alex Mac and Bernard’s Watch.
It got me thinking about all the programmes I used to love watching on CITV and CBBC when I was younger, and I’ve decided to take a break from music to give you a quick reminder, and see if you loved the shows too, coming up over the next few days are a reminder of the shows we all used to love.
Clarissa Explains It All starred our favourite teen star, Melissa Joan Hart, and involved Clarissa Darling describing the things that are happening in her life as she dealt with things such as school, boys, pimples and an annoying little brother.
Clarissa and her father Marshall, mother Janet, little brother Ferguson and best friend Sam all live in a small suburban town in Ohio and the storyline was one of the few in the US at the time which allowed a girl and boy to be best friends without the idea of romance blossoming.
Focusing on regular teen issues, one of the main storylines was when Clarissa stood up to a boy who was bullying her little brother, and the pair ended up falling in love with each other, and it was this storyline which contributed to the shows being named as one of the ten shows that "made" cable television.
Keep your eyes peeled for another show at the same time tomorrow, and an update on what happened to our favourite characters will be coming soon!
