Ahhh the O.C. I am still surprised my mother allowed me to watch this show ( I couldn't watch Bring it On or read Harry Potter, but I could watch this?!). However, I did have to watch it in her room with the door closed, so as not to ruin the innocence of my younger siblings. This show absolutely influenced my music taste. I was introduced to so many fabulous artists.
Another show that formed me? CSI. The original. It is absolutely why I am a little true crime junkie.
I have no investment in Joe Boringwyn but I loved the journey you took us on with your Conversations with Friend watch. Sounds like on many fronts some straight nonsense so definitely not for me.
I haven't watched SNL in a long time but even I got emotional thinking about Kate leaving.
Can't believe how many people I've had to block or unfollow for talking about the trial in an incredibly dehumanizing way. UGH. celebrities are people too.
As you know, I was also very homeschooled and sheleterd so didn't see a lot of shows either. My dad was super into 24 so we watched that a lot but it hasn't stuck with me. Tbh, most of the cultural memories I have are of books! A Series of Unfortunate Events was my heart and soul. I also loved Septimus Heap and Inkheart. Wasn't allowed to read HP until my late teens and now I don't FW JKR anyway so that's a no for me. I LOVE revisiting my fav childhood book series, it feels like a hug.
I did secretly watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch on YouTube and Melissa Joan Hart was an early crush. Sucks that she's super republican now.

Bahahahaaaa The O.C. feels like so much more mature themes than Bring It On!! I'm dying hahaa.
Oh yeah, The O.C., Garden State, and Scrubs really influenced my musical taste, but it got to me like two years later in 2005! lol
CSI!! I super missed out on that boat, but the true crime wave is here to stay and I'm fully on board.
