Musical boyfriends and stereotypes
16 April 2021
I went back and watched all seasons since I didn't finish them when I was younger. I still felt some type of way when Brenda left and felt like the show took a huge loss when Doherty was gone. Tiffany Thiesson was a nice addition and kept the show alive with her drama. I felt like having her take everybody's leftovers was just lazy writing, as well as the whole crew playing musical boyfriends. In real life, girls don't remain friends when our friends date our exes. It would have been nice to see women of color play a main lead or long term date one of the main guys, but of course it seems that every time a black character was introduced, it was in some type of agonizing stereotypical sense. Wrong side of town, dangerous, angry; then there's the one where the single mother leaves her kids home alone to go to work and the white people are there to judge and play savior. It is what it was for those days and for the times that it was for television. Most plots were written well and the actors did a great job in their roles.
