Day 17 - A pairing you thought would never work out, but did?

I had a hard time thinking of an answer for this one, and then my newest boxset of dvds showed up in the post and I got an idea: Lorena & Sly.

(Sorry, couldn't find a pic...)

Anybody remember way back in the days of Saved By the Bell, there was also a very similar show called California Dreams? lol Oh, how I loved it. I was obsessed with Jake Sommers for the most part, but thats not the point. The point is, Sly never seemed like he would ever be a decent enough person to have a girlfriend, and all his attempts to get Jenny, Tiffany, Sam, etc. ultimately failed. His apparent obsession with Lorena was going to ba another disaster surely! But no, she broke up with Jake and then Sly saw his chance. The girl with money and the guy obsessed with money actually made a pair that stuck it out to the end of the series if I remember rightly. So yeah, never seemed feasible, til it happened, then it was darn cute! ;-)

I remember California Dreams. I shipped Jake & Tiffani. The good 'ol days of Saved by the Bell, California Dreams, and USA High!

Oh yes, definitely the good old days! I think I watched every one of those shows even though they did recycle both character traits and plot lines between them - SbtB, California Dreams, USA High, Hang Time, City Guys, One World, Malibu CA... SbtB and California Dreams were my faves though, always. I too shipped Jake & Tiff, on the days when I wasn't wishing and dreaming that I could have Jake for myself! lol I was so young...

I remember all of those except Malibu CA. I wasn't that into City Guys but as for the rest, I was all over TNBC Saturday mornings. When I get some money, I'm so going to get all my SbtBs and California Dreams to honor my preteen life.

Yeah, it has to be done. I have all of SbtB, and I have the 4 seasons of California Dreams available so far - just the 5th Season left to go :)
