In my opinionation

blossom.3.

I’ve only seen about 10 minutes total of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Come to think of it, I’ve probably only watched 10 minutes total of CBS in the past 3 years, period.  TBBT seems like a perfectly serviceable network comedy, and I don’t have anything against it, I’m just too busy watching Sober House reruns to commit to a new show. I like my comedy raw.

That will all change come May 24, when Mayim Bialik–yes THE Mayim Bialik–will make her debut as the love interest to some guy named Sheldon. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Ms. Bialek’s work, here’s a short rundown:

  • Miyam Bialik was the floppy hat-wearing title character on the era-defining 1990s sitcom Blossom (of Joey Lawrence and neck tie skirt fame [curse you internet! No images of Blossom's iconic skirt?]).
  • After the show went off the air, she attended UCLA where she eventually earned a PhD in Neuroscience.
  • Although she’s acted sporadically since ending her run as Blossom Russo, her oeuvre escaped my attention until her hilarious turn as Kirstie Alley’s cantankerous neighbor on Fat Actress. Her self-deprecating closing dance number is a must see for all Blossom superfans.
  • In 2009, in another nod to good sportsmanship, Miyam appeared on an episode of TLC’s What Not to Wear.

Clearly, this real-life scientist should be a perfect addition to a show that centers on the exploits of a group of hapless geeks. Let’s hope a permanent role is in the works–until then, there’s always Blossom DVDs to hold us over.
