Help[Opinions] Re: Clarissa - EDITED
in reply to a message by Adelle
What about the 1990s Nickelodeon show, Clarissa Explains it All, starring Melissa Joan Hart?
EDIT: Oh, but I love them both. I can't decide which one I like more. Clarice is pretty and ballerina-ish, and Clarissa is...um...spunky. They're both equally great.

I've thought of the show, but I think that's been long enough that it's not the immediate association, unlike with Clarice, when everyone will start talking about fava beans and chianti.
Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

You assume I think pop culture associations are bad. Not true, just that I don't want it to be the first thing that comes to mind. I actually prefer the Clarice association because I think her job is wonderful and I have a personal relation with it, but I'm more a realist than a sentimental, and I know that the SotL jokes would be never ending, that's all.
ETA that Clarissa is growing on me as a I read Mrs. Dalloway, so while it's not a pop culture association, it would probably be my association.

I wasn't assuming that. I was just stating that I don't think they're bad.
For the last part, I was saying that in general, for anybody who happened to be reading it. Sorry, should have been more clear.

Yes, I use to watch it alot when I was in elementary school. I use to really hate Ferguson's name but now I think it's ok. I think the name Clarissa is nice also, partially because it is similar to my name. I also use to like Pete and Pete and various other Nick shows.
Never cared much for Clarice... it sounds unfinished to me.

*sigh* That was back when Niceklodeon was, um, better. I miss those days.
I think I had the same reaction to Ferguson. It is a great name, but I think I would use it on a cat. I don't know why, I just picture a cute little kitty named Ferguson.

I think that it may have been better back then, but it has gotten better than it was 5 years ago.
And yes Ferguson would be a cute cat name. ^_^

Really? I think it's gotten worse. I only watch Avatar.
...but then again, it is a KID'S network, and I'm no longer one of those.

All I know is about 5 or 6 years ago of so all the cartoon channels got really stupid shows, that had no adult references, and were purely fart humor. Then about 2 years ago or something like that they got more new shows, the majority of them ok, but not as good as the really old ones, and got rid of most of the really stupid ones and keep some of the ok ones. On Nick I think Camp Lazlo is ok, Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parents, Avatar, Kappa Mikey, and Sponge Bob Square Pants. There might be a few I'm forgeting, but oh well. Disney Channel went down hill around that time, and now has gotten even more down hill. And Cartoon Network, excluding Toonami got bad also around 5 or 6 years ago, they got rid of most of the really bad ones, kept most of the good ones, and now have a few more good shows recently. Adult Swim keeps getting better and better in my opinion. Adult Swim has some of the best shows on TV right now. Other than shows like Project Runway - which is going downhill - Lost, House, and a few other non-animated shows.
Well that is all I'm going to say. I think we have degressed really far away from the original topic. If you want to reply please send me a BTN e-mail. Thanks. ^_^

I was thinking the same thing, so it's not that unpopular in the way of showbusiness association.
