I don't know, OP, I've always found William Ragsdale to be awfully cute. In this, the *Fright Night* movies, and *Mannequin 2.* He had a lovely smile, nice wavy hair, and smiling eyes and was often friendly, sensitive, and outgoing.
I don't believe her, either. As a child in Guatemala in the 1980s, we used to get a lot of American TV shows albeit dubbed in Spanish. Some of these included '60s classics like BEWITCHED, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, and, yes, THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. J.Lo grew up in the US and surely would have been exposed to it as a child/teen in the '70s/'80s. My older sister (who is four years older than her) married a Puerto Rican (born and raised)) and even they know of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES.
Yeah, malt/soda shops were popular hangouts for '50s teens. Those went out of fashion in the '60s and were replaced with the mall in the '70s though the heyday of mallrat culture were the '80s and '90s.
What's wrong with the tall girl episode? Many high school boys on the short side can relate. And it was well-done, IMO.
Incidentally, the first season of *Roseanne* (with George Clooney) began in the fall of '88. That also changed the sitcom landscape, as other knock-offs about blue-collar families were being churned out.
But Blanche wanted to be sexually involved with him. And she thought that they were out on a romantic date until he told her that she reminded him of his mother.
For what it's worth, Rose's friend, Ingrid, did say something very similar in "Yokel Hero," when they were riding the donkey cart to St. Olaf. Blanche encouraged Rose to give Ingrid a call sometime, and she literally did just that: "Hey, Ingrid!!!" Ingrid's immediate response was, "Is that you, Rose?"
If you want to get technical, the movie was shot in 1998, when they were 17. They both turned 18 within a month of the film's release in March 1999.
CLUELESS was very successful from the get-go. It was well-received by critics and was a hit at the box office and later on home video. The film catapulted Alicia Silverstone to superstardom. It also influenced teen fashion and popularized Valspeak among young people.
Jesus! You SJWs never stop overanalyzing and finding things to get offended by.
