Jo is pretty cool, too, but Natalie was the best.
Also: 1980s fashion, hair, and design is equal parts terrifying and nostalgic as fuck for me. Especially the mid-to-late 80s when everything was gray, purple, and teal.
You and I are going to step outside see, see. (1940s Tommy gun, running board, gangster voice.)
Jo was the best!
Holy shit, this morning's rerun hits close to home. Natalie has a fight with her adoptive mom. Says she can't understand them and they cant understand her, even though she loves them. I can totally identify. I am adopted too. I love my late Mom, she was my hero always supported me. But growing up our personalities conflicted. It was not until I met my biological family in the mid 90s that I understood where some of my own behaviors were coming from.
I haven't watched this show in decades, but man the topics of that show really were tackling social issues.
