This show set itself up to fail. It established a few characters who are essentially bad people, but with a few good traits (Rachel, Will, Kurt, Finn), and gave us little to nothing on the others. Then it forced itself to walk a tightrope, trying to balance what vocal fans wanted with trying to keep its few characters from became too unbearable. It tipped more toward the former, which is why all the characters became unbearable. And we still only got a little on most of them.
People who still loved it after season 1, I feel were being generous, and only enjoying parts of it.
I think it was mainly good timing. A lot of feel-good dramas like the O.C and Gilmore Girls had just ended and people wanted something a little bit more real. Plus, it really struck a cord with that whole 'being part of something that's special makes you special' schtick and its balance of semi-realism and melodrama.

I know some of these were written worse and worse as the seasons went on, but for the initial goodness, and for the laughs, I have to credit them.
Totally agree with all of your opinions.
I'm hoping it's surprisingly good. But we'll see...
I chose one from each year that hopefully hasn't been mentioned, that highlights the 90s best and showcases the different types of movies being produced each year. I think more than anything, the humor is especially fitted to the year, coz a lot of it just turns very bad and weird later on.
1990 – Ghost
1991 – Terminator 2
1993 – Hocus Pocus
1994 – Dumb and Dumber
1995 – Babe
1996 – Romeo+Juliet
1997 – Men In Black
1998 – Rush Hour
1999 – 10 Things I Hate About You
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for.
If it's blond male actors who were 12 in 2000 or thereabouts, I'd say the following were pretty well known at the time:
Jeremy Sumpter of Peter Pan 2003
Lucas Till, who was in X-Men both as a kid and later as an adult, and is probably more well recognizable as that guy from Taylor Swift’s You Belong With Me video
Max Thierot from The Pacifier 2005
William Moseley, who’s best known for his role as Peter in the Narnia films but was acting before then.
And, I mean, obviously Haley Joel Osment was famous in the 2000s.
She doesn't and I love it.
When you leave Catholicism, no one locks you in the church or runs you down with a car.
We shouldn't minimize the actions scientologists take to prevent people from leaving, and what they do after people leave. They plant cameras outside houses and stalk people. If you're Jewish, they'll get people dressed as Nazi soldiers to picket outside your home. They'll dig through your trash, have strangers follow you around, all in hopes of achieving...what exactly? Who knows? But they'll keep doing it and won't stop.
Tell me any religion that would do this? Tell me a religion that would run you over with a car, thinking that's going to make you want to stay?
I'm with you. If Katie Holmes is free now, she should speak up too. Both of them should team up.
As Leah herself has stated, she only ever planned to talk about it in her memoir and move on - but people who have left have contacted her and asked her to speak up. As someone who has led a lot of people into the religion, I'm sure she sees publicly outing them as a way to make up for that.
Is Katie Holmes officially out? If so, I would love for her to sit down with Leah for an interview.
Does the Edge of Seventeen count? I'm behind in my movie watching.
The Power Rangers movie, legit
Wonder Woman
Justice League
I'm sure there's more. Will update when I can recall.
Clark's mom, Mrs. Martha Kent, from Smallville. I wanted her to be my mother for so long (weeps in corner).
But I gotta give an honourable mention to Piper Halliwell of Charmed.
The Sweet Valley High books.
Whichever of the Harry Potter books were published in the 90s. I def remember reading the first one.
I was really into Stephen King as a kid (it was weird and I was a major nerd) so I know I read The Dark Tower III.
Ursula Le Guin's Tehanu.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman.
Anything by R. L Stine, Roald Dahl or Tamora Pierce, I read. I especially loved Stine's Fear Street series and Pierce's Wild Magic series.
Emily Rodda's Rowan of Rin.
Oh how dare you? I love Jaimie Alexander and will not rest if she's killed off. I won't necessarily picket the studio or anything, but...to be serious though, I honestly don't know. I'm not loving the treatment of the female characters they keep, either.
Just checked out a new show called Beyond, which was a mess, but enjoyable. But one thing the plot did was make all its female characters expendable. That's how most females are on all shows. Whatever happened to the days of Xena? Dark Angel? Buffy, for crying out loud?
I don't have 10, or even more than 2, but I am a little affronted that no one has put down Parks and Recreation, even as the number 10 spot! Parks and Recreation!!!!! Number 1!
