I can remember Karen and I watching the four-hour mini-series and talking about it at school the next day.
Remember-this was back when there wasn't IM, Chat Rooms or text messages. If you wanted to talk to your BFF then you had to (a) pick up your Princess phone and call her (b) write her a detailed note about what you didn't understand from last night's episode or (c) wait until 5th period when you could see each other face-to-face. So frustrating!
I happened across V a few months ago and tried watching part of the mini-series to sort of re-live the magic, but I simply couldn't get through ten minutes of it because it was so bad and unbelievably cheesy. But here's the thing: it doesn't really matter because this was one of the biggest mini-series back when I was just a kid. Aside from The Thorn Birds...


Lately there are just so many remakes kicking around out there that you wonder if anyone in Hollywood has an original thought left. I mean, seriously, did they really need to bring back 90210? Wasn't The Hills and Gossip Girl enough to satisfy our guilty (slutty) pleasures?
Now if only I could get Pixar Studios interested in doing a movie about Barabpapas...
