Bill Wasn't Watching

My friend Patrick Garvin from The Boston Globe just had published a list of "TV love triangles audiences love to love." And I realized, I watched so few of these shows when they were first on, it was a little startling. I mean, NONE of these was Ally McBeal.

Beverly Hills, 90210, 1990-2000
Melrose Place, 1992-1999

About fifth grade to junior year of college. Both probably started as a little young for me, and I suppose I wasn't interested in glamorous teens and adults getting vindictive and catty, and worrying about who's going out with whom.

My So-Called Life, 1994-1995

How short! High school, and much more relatable. I don't think I saw all of the series, though. I remember Rayanne Graff singing "I Want To Be Sedated" with some band.
