Didn't Like It......


I know I will probley get flamed for this.

But as a kid I really never got into Clarissa Explains It All. I tried. I really wanted to like it. I LOVED Pete and Pete, Alex Mack, Hey Dude, and Salute Your Shorts. But I just thought Clarrisa Explains It All was dumb/annoying. I didn't like any of the characters......Well scratch that....The dad was tolerable. I remember even as a young kid thinking Melissa Joan Hart was a really horrible actress.

I do get now that she was inexperienced ect......But lets face it she sucked in Sabrina The Teenage Witch as well.

So with the whole 90s Are All That line up on Teennick. I thought I would give Clarissa anouther chance. Thinking maybe I was missing something as a kid. Because everyone talks about how epic it is.........I still don't get it.

Its so corny and hokey and thats just not my thing. I have yet to sit through an entire episode and I really REALLY have tried. It does have somewhat funny moments sometimes. But I especially can't get past Melissa Joan Harts awful acting (again I get it she was young/inexperienced). Maybe Clarissa is just an annoying character? I definately don't find her endearing or relatable.

Okay i'm ready to be flamed. But it had to be said lol.

oh well, to each their own. I never got into Pete and Pete, myself.

true - I thought Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts were completely forgettable - the only reason I watched Hey Dude was to see Melody (Christine Taylor) in a swimsuit - she's STILL hot after all these years!

*shrugs* I actually think Melissa did a great job. Not the best actress ever, and every now and then she gave a "dull" reading of a line, but she had the attitude down perfectly. I really can't see any other young actress making the Clarissa character work.

The Office died in Season 4. Lieberstien's a hack. Tate sucks. All facts
