So I saw a show on TV the other day about television shows most unforgettable moments. It got me thinking what I thought were some unforgettable TV moments. I'm sure we all have different opinions as we all come from different generations. Here's what I came up with. They are in no particular order and aren't necessarily the best of all time. It's just the first 10 that came to my mind. Some are serious, some are just for laughs.
Saved By The Bell-Zack and Kelly-The Breakup
You'll have to skip to about 20min in for the good part. Just keep clicking on the time bar fast til you get there. Of course youtube didn't have any clips of this moment. Who can forget when Kelly broke Zack's heart and broke up with him at the costume ball. It went down as Slater and Jessie sang(lip synced), "How Am I Suppose To Live Without You". I mean really Kelly how could you leave Zack for Jeff? Oh and you had to do it at the picnic table where Zack took you to the prom in your sweatshirt that hung over your shoulder when your dad lost his job and you didn't have money to buy a dress. Zack and my little preteen heart were heart broken. In Kelly's own words, "It wasn't supposed to be this way, not for us".
90210-Donna Martin Graduates
If you were a teenager in the early 90's and you don't know what I'm talking about already then you must have lived under a rock. Who can forget how Donna almost didn't get to graduate from West Bev, when she got caught drunk at the Senior Prom. Poor Donna and she only had a little champagne. All the students stood up for Donna and said if she didn't graduate then none of them would. They even faced summer school, oooohhhh! "Donna Martin Graduates" has become a pop culture phrase.
The Wonder Years-Kevin and Winnie's First Kiss
On the series first episode Kevin and Winnie have their first kiss. Throughout the show they shared a special bond and love for each other that people are envious of.
Every moment of this shows series got to me. It was well written and the narration and soundtrack just tied it all together. They don't make shows like this anymore.
Friends-The One With the Prom Video
The gang finds the video of Rachel and Monica getting ready for prom and Ross steps up to take Rachel to prom when Chip almost doesn't show up. We get to see Rachel pre nose job and Monica when she was fat. Ross on the stairs with the keyboard, fro, and stash is priceless. So many classic lines in there. I don't know which is my favorite. "So how many cameras are actually on you" stands out. The kiss at the end gets me every time.
The Cosby Show-"Regular People" episode
Theo tries to explain to Mr. Cosby that he doesn't have to get good grades because he's gonna get a job like regular people and Cliff tries to teach him a lesson in economics. Theo then makes this "heartfelt" speech and Cliff says, "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life". That and "I'm your father, I brought you in this world and I'll take you out" are the best parts!
Friends-Ross standing in the rain outside Central Perk
When Ross and Rachel kiss. Ok, so it's another kiss episode, but it's their first real kiss. He comes back after they fight about him liking her and then her finding out and it's too late he is with Julie. He comes back and its raining and well you remember the rest.
Roseanne-The Pot episode
Roseanne and Dan find pot and think it's Darlene's, but David says it's his and then they realize it's Roseanne's old pot from the 70's. Dan, Roseanne and Jackie smoke the pot and are in the bathroom. Jackie-"Nobody loves me"
ER-Dr Green Dies
This is when ER was a good show. The last couple seasons did not live up to the beginning years if you ask me. I can remember balling watching this episode. I also love this version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
ER-Lucy and Carter get attacked in the ER
It's another ER episode, but I remember how shocking the ending was and couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen. Carter gets stabbed, but doesn't know Lucy got stabbed earlier and is also dying on the floor. Lucy and Carter both lock eyes as they are fighting for their life on the ER floor. Lucy later dies in the next episode.
Melrose Place- Kimberly Takes Off Her Wig
Remember when everyone thought Kimberly died in the car accident with Micheal? She comes back not dead of course. At the end when she reveals that she is wearing a wig and you see that massive scar on her head was one of the best moments on Melrose Place. Kimberly was so crazy after that, I loved it! Seriously I watch the new show, but it is no ways as good as the original.
Honorable mention
Saved By the Bell-Jessie does Drugs
Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills. Who can forget, "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so scared". I mean come on this is where we are introduced to the Hot Sundaes! Remember when the girls started singing and they made that workout video.

Building Memories at Build-a-Bear
This past Friday I was able to spend the day with my godchild Alex for his 7th birthday. We decided to go to Build-a-Bear since he'd never been. He loves stuffed animals so I knew this would be a place that he would enjoy. He was excited as soon as we walked in the mall. He was ooohhhing and awwwwing at all the christmas decorations everywhere. First we got something to eat at Sbarro's where he had a huge piece of pizza. We arrived at Build-a-Bear and he couldn't believe all the bears and animals to choose from. He ended up choosing a puppy, which I guessed he would.
He went and had his puppy stuffed and sewed up. He loved controlling the button for the stuffing.
The old lady who helps stuff and sew him is so good with the kids. She made him feel special by giving him a birthday bear name tag.
He got to put an extra heart in his bear because it was his birthday. So in turn that gave him an extra wish. He also had a puppy bark put inside. The next stop was to groom, wash, and fluff his puppy. He thought that was neat.
Then on to the dressing area. First we had to pick out an outfit. I think I was more excited to pick out shoes and accessories then he was. I guess that's the girl in me and forget he's a little a boy and it's not as important to him. He ended up just picking out a striped long sleeve shirt with a hood for his puppy.
Nothing I could say could convince him to pick out pants or shoes. I did manage to convince him to pick out something else for his puppy to wear, so he picked out some cool sunglasses. The last stop was making his birth certificate. Alex decided to name him Spot. The puppy ended up looking really cute.
He had such a good time and loved the fact that he made it himself and got to pick it out. He told me, "GG, I'm never ever gonna loose this puppy and I'm always gonna have it, sleep with it, and take it back and forth wherever I go". The next day when I talked to my grandma she said he showed the puppy to everyone who came over and told them all about how he made it. This to me was so much better than any other birthday present I could have bought him and picked out myself and wrapped. I think what makes it stand out is it's something he'll always remember and that we got to spend time together.

Songs of Christmas Cheer do not include a Donkey!
I love Christmas music. When some of you are probably complaining that Lite Fm has started the Christmas music way to early. I am rejoicing! This is one song they constantly play on the Lite Fm and I can't stand it! Just give me my Bing Crosby White Christmas and Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas!
