Loving Tori and Dean
In 1991 I was the only freak in my age group who did not watch Beverly Hills 90210 or Melrose Place. My family always only had one TV in the house and you can bet your sweet ass that my parents were not going to watch teeny-bopper drama. So I can honestly tell you that I have no idea the character names or really even who starred on either of the shows. In college, when my friends would get together to make these shows an event, I was always annoying them by asking a zillion questions and making fun of the story lines and dialog. I was asked to leave on more than one occasion.
That being said, I know very little about Tori Spelling except some random bits I’ve seen on TV or in magazines. But last week, after watching Kathy Griffin’s show on Bravo and Tori and Dean’s reality show came on. I was just wrapping up some work and only halfway paying attention but I found myself charmed by Tori Spelling. I think she’s just adorable, and she calls her son Monkey just like we call Bridget Monkey. It’s a match made in heaven.
So I set some season passes and am now ensconced on the couch while Bridget snoozes off her Motrin stupor, watching all my recorded episodes. And now I’m going to make sure that I always have some of this fluff to watch for mindless entertainment.

I love it, too. I like how they are very “normal” (as much as can be in their world).
Would you believe that hubby & I sometimes call Penny “monkey” too? Oh, and often “monkey butt!”
I have admitted this to very few people - but I feel the same way! I watched the first two seasons, and like you - hadn’t ever watched 90210 or Melrose or whatever, and actual found Tori incredibly LIKABLE…something I never thought I’d admit (I’m a snob, perhaps?) I was so excited when the 3rd season was announced. yes, I’m a dork, but oh well.
Oh yeah, Dahlia is “monkey” too. Must be the way they hang on to us like little monkeys and can put their feet in their mouths.
You should try to check out the first two seasons of Tori & Dean Inn Love…I think you wouldn’t be disappointed.
