My thoughts exactly! We were just spammed in every active thread by bumble4tus' anger!

I used to love watching that show when I was growing up.

I agree James, I always found it very emotional to watch - even back when I was a kid watching it.  The writers seemed to have a real knack of stirring up emotions in the viewer.

On a lighter note - i loved the brother Wayne - he was so damn funny.  I also liked the episodes where Becky Slater had it in for Kevin all the time - psycho!

I also liked one of the earlier episodes where Kevin had to go over to the house of a girl in his class (I think it was Madelaine) and they were baking a cake or something together.  She comes onto Kevin big time - like licking the frosting off his fingers really seductively etc.  But he bascially shits himself.

I remember thinking when I first saw that episode that chick was hot!!!  (I can safely say that because I was a kid at the time).  Although she seemed way older than Kevin - both emotionally and physically!

As for Winnie Cooper I always thought she was really tidy!!!!  My mates and I all used to think so.  I might have to show em those pics you posted James for an old laugh.

Top pics by the way

Shame if there is never a DVD release - I had always thought that I would like to watch the entire series from start to finish - since some of the later seasons I only saw episodes intermittently.  I might have to find torrents of it then.  If I do I'll keep your "gay" theory in mind and see if I get the same impression.

I too thought he would have been higher than 42.  I have tried to put my personal bias aside but I still can't see why he wouldn't be up higher up.

Granted his lack of respect at time for his audience and his temprament may have subconscioualy worked against him, but still you can't deny that when the guy is onstage he works a crowd and commands attention like few others.

Even casual fans of the band or people that don't even like them know of him and his volatile "mad frontman" nature.  True sometimes for the wrong reasons but they still know that if you are watching him on stage you are likely transfixed because you simply don't know what could happen with all that energy that he displays as he stalks and runs around the stage.

I couldn't say the same about bands that I don't really care for.  I would struggle to even name the lead singer of some bands that are higher up, let along have any idea how they may conduct themselves onstage.
