Though it was critically acclaimed at the time, thirtysomething kind of gets a bad rep now for being a show about white, middle class yuppies whining, and sure, it was a show about white, middle class yuppies whining, but it was also a lot more than that. Created by My So-Called Life producers Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the show was written by the likes of Paul Haggis (let's put our Crash hatred aside and remember Letters from Iwo Jima and Casino Royale, people), and Winnie Holzman, and at the time, had this perfectly timely resonance with people dealing with the complications of modern suburban life like no other show before it.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles suffered many setbacks in its lone two seasons, from budget cuts that stripped the essential action from the show, to the insufferable Riley and Jesse diversions, to far too many boring Sarah-centric episodes designed to make us just fall in love with the miscast Lena Headey, but despite all of that, it really was a fantastic show. And as August winds down and I get more and more amped for all my favorite shows to return, I just can't get the disappointment that Cameron, Derek, Ellison and John Henry won't be returning to my viewing schedule out of the back of my mind.

I was in the single digits throughout most of the '90s (I'm 21 now), and with a strict upbringing, I was never allowed to watch too much television, which meant that I missed out on some classics that a lot of people grew up with. So, during my college internship this summer at TWoP, the editors enlightened me with a list of some must-see shows that I had no prior knowledge of. All the shows take place in high school, and we get to follow a main character who has to deal with the misfortune that comes with been a teenager, regardless of popularity, in the face of those wonderful-yet-overused stereotypical high school cliques. And just let me tell you, after watching the pilots, I've concluded that the fashion in the '90s was not good to young folks, and I'm glad I was too young to have been a victim of shoulder pads, big hair, platforms and the misuse of jean jackets. But I digress. Here is my take on five pilots -- the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Disclaimer: After seeing this list of TV shows, I'm aware that you might think that I've been living under a rock.

Hulu and ABC have been knocking it out of the park lately with their partnership. After adding Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and Castle, they've also begun streaming their catalog with today's epic addition of the entire series of My So-Called Life. Re-watch it, re-live it, and if you're anything like me, re-hate Angela for ignoring Brian Krakow and loving Jordan Catalano, who can't read. They made a whole episode about how he can't read!

The first season of 21 Jump Street popped up on Hulu yesterday, and while I was very familiar with how hilarious the world seems to find that show and everyone's fondness for using it as a punchline, I had never actually seen it. I was four when the show premiered, so it wasn't really on my radar back then, and I never noticed it syndicated in my later years, so it was just something I completely missed out on. But I watched an episode today and realized something: 21 Jump Street is a tragically misjudged show.
