I wouldn't expect the name to be a turn off - could you elaborate more on why you had that thought? I'm curious.
I feel like the kind of people who would be turned off by the name (aka boys) probably wouldn't like the show anyway. The series was such a staple for my generation of girls so I think people my age would be excited to see the name.

We all know it’s one of the best series ever but I don’t know anyone other than you all who have watched it/read the books. I told my work colleagues about it and they were like “What the?” I told them Alicia Silverstone is a highlight. They think it’s a little kids show because of babies/babysitting. Top 10 at the moment in TV series on Netflix though so maybe lots of people closet watching it. My brothers and other boys used to tease me for liking it.

I didn't even think about how young it made the show sound. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I've now watched the entire season 2. It didn't stick as closely to the books as season 1 did, but there was still enough to make me happy (and I liked some of the updates too).
I thought the actors did a good job and I could see that they had matured since season 1. Ad I've said elsewhere, Mallory was a highlight for me (I know not everyone will agree!) She gave me a new appreciation for the character.
I really wonder how well it will age. If my kids are watching it with their kids in 20 years, what will they think? There are a lot of references to things which may or may not exist in the future (Tiktok etc). Maybe it will be a charming piece of nostalgia for their childhood like the original series is for me.
I'm hoping for a season 3 but not holding my breath. I think the hints of trouble with Stacey's parents might lead to something if the series does continue.

I've read a lot of opinions that people liked it but felt that it was weaker than season 1. I agree. I didn't love that they kind of mashed books together. I did like that they stretched certain things out, like Richard and Sharon still just dating and Stacey's parents marriage troubles slowly heating up. Seastar, I think it will be dated in 20 years like all shows are. If kids today can watch Full House and understand what DJ's lip phone is then I think kids in 20 years will be ok.

^ A couple months late, but to me this is the difference between modern vs trendy. I watch a lot of procedurals and they place tons of emphasis on cutting edge stuff. Just having or mentioning an older phone doesn't make a show feel dated to me. But when writers make characters drool over this phone because it has a camera and internet connection, that makes it feel like an unintentional period piece.
Only time will tell, but I think this show will be fine because it's a portrait of regular kids right now. Tiktok probably won't be around in 20 years but it's something everyone used. If they were on some goofy platform that only cool kids used, that would be different.

That's so cool. Malia Baker is probably my favorite actress of the bunch so I'd love to see her win.
I don't think wardrobe styling is included in the makeup and hairstyling category, but the clothes deserve a shoutout. Claudia's clothes are the standout but everyone had a distinct personal style.

I received a message from proboards account, telling me about “Family Financial Support”. They offer $50,000 cash, but in order to receive the money, I need to pay a shipping fee of $750 through Western Union. Once $750 has been paid, they ask for $2,500 to clear taxes. The initial message they send is to share this with you. have you heard about the Family Financial Support? They supported my family and i in paying my bills, helping me to plan my future. They made sure my credit record is good, Family financial Support are really doing a great job now for people. I received $50,000 cash from them so far, this is really helping me in planning throughout this year. You can give it a shot email them on new year support to enroll. Say To Whom It May Concern tell them your full names and ask if you can get financial support for your self and your family.or do you want me to help you do it? No bank details no paying the $50,000 back Cheers

I'm just seeing this picture for this first time. Kristy and Mallory look so glamorous and different! They're all so pretty. Love how Malia is the tallest and Mary Anne is supposed to be super short, haha.

I remember thinking how different their personal styles were. I did a double-take at Shay's 80s Madonna look.
