Review of Blossom

Blossom (1990–1995)
6/10
Meet The Russos
25 July 2019
Blossom was the name of the youngest sibling of the Russo family played by Mayim Bialik. Puberty had kicked in with her, but she was a smart kid. She also had a best friend played by Jenna Van Oy who would lead her astray, but never too far.

Blossom and her two brothers were being raised by a single father. I'm glad the producers resisted the urge to make the father an idiot as happens often. Nor was he the all wise elder who gave good advice on all occasions. Ted Wass was a musician a really hip and smart sort of guy who more often let situations play themselves out to teach lessons.

They never really developed the oldest brother Michael Stoyanov's character and I can't recall he carried an episodes. Joey Lawrence who was the middle child was a breakout star from Blossom. He was sweet, dumb, naive and hunky a pretty impressive combination to pull off, but Lawrence did it.

Blossom itself was a charming and hip show for the early 90s.
