And while Family followed a lot of the then-standard TV conventions (the thirtysomething writers said how they felt very constrained when writing for Family), it was also ahead of its time, in regards to storylines and storyarcs.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-1148922979756405132006-05-29T13:16:00.000-04:002006-05-29T13:16:00.000-04:00Oh, Square Pegs.

Congrats to you & the teen!<BR/><BR/>Teens can definately enjoy chick flick movies; I posted about this movie seeming to go more towards an older audience is because I don't want people to assume that if I post about some book/movie/tv show, it's me saying "yep this is for teens".<BR/><BR/>And as I approach a certain birthday, I'm also more on the lookout for movies where I see me (agewise) on the screen.
