Hi Aangirfan,
I remember this show as i was growing up and i did not like it at all, i used to "fight" with my sister when it came on tv as she did like it and i thought it was crap..
i guess i was more rock'n'roll than pop....

Hi Again Aangirfan,
BTW, there does seem to be a huge push from the media here, to normalise,and sexualise our young people(kids)and even promote homosexuality as absoutley normal and even prefered..there are examples of this every day.
just one example this morning is this

Please be aware i'm not anti-gay, but i value family and monogamy in the "old" fashioned way..
Cheers A13
Family and monogamy are relative notions. The human being is not made for monogamy and its been showing for centuries. The more ppl refuse to understand and deny their true nature,t he worse for them...
