Sound like “Who’s the Boss 2.0″
No kidding!!!
If you GROW it Back, they will come…
Are you talking about Joey’s missing eyebrows? I liked him when he was a guy.
Nothing wrong with that. I hope Matthew Lawrence guest stars or gets his own show soon. I would be thrilled if they make a show with Matthew Lawrence and Jodie Sweetin!!! – They were good together in an episode of Brotherly Love. I love the 90s!!!!
As someone who grew up in the ’90s…feeling strangely excited about this.
Haha, me too!
And what has happened to the other Lawrence brothers?
One of the Lawrence brothers was in the recent BBC version of Pride and Prejudiced. Not sure about the other…
This show would be perfect for restarting TGIF!!!! Gonna have some fun show you how its done T.G.I.F!!!!!! – Clean, innocently fun shows like Full House, Perfect Strangers, Boy Meets World, I am sooo tired of ‘gritty realism’, whatever happened to watching tv as an escape from reality?
Oh….oh, no! This sounds absolutely dreadful!
Or maybe I should just say, “WHOA!”
My Monday just got infinitely better.
As long as Joey grows some hair, I might watch but he looks creepy with the manicured eyebrows and baldness.
He looks like a drag performer in his off hours. PLEASE JOEY, grow your eyebrows back in! Or at least let the makeup crew draw some on.
that’s funny, since they were just in an abcfamily movie together.
Which I watched and loved! They were strangers getting married for the presents, and fell in love–adorable! He’s hot–hope there are a few scenes where he takes off his shirt…but on ABC Family…maybe not…
Melissa Joan Hart has been my girl since Clarissa Tells All on Nick ! AHHHHHHHHHHH !
I haaaaaate to be like this, but it was Clarissa Explains It All and I watched every time I could! I wanted to dress just like her. Sort of a cross between Madonna and Cindy Lauper only oh so G rated.
i just threw up in my mouth. a lot.
PASS. Time warp. Bad actors (lovely people, but bad actors). Melissa Joan Hart couldn’t land a punchline with an instrument panel and ground control talking her down. Would love to see “Joseph” Lawrence try something with a bit more bite to it, but I’m not sure (a) anyone would hire him for it or (b) he could pull it off.
This would be a good show to watch either before or after Ruby and the Rockits–which was ADORABLE (to me and about three other people)…
When did Melissa Joan Hart get stuck playing uptight women roles? It seems odd that Clarissa would end up here.
Erm! I don’t know what to think really. I loved Sabrina the Teenage Witch (which was massive over here btw) and Blossom was one of my favourite programs as a kid. Is it going to be shown Prime Time because if so, I don’t think either actor is suited for that.
I know the littlest Lawrence did a bunch of episodes on United States of Tara.
So is he going to play a character named “Joe” or “Joey” again? He always seems to do that…isn’t that why they call it acting?
