Awesome show, great plots!, 16 September 1999
Author: Michael (ripcraven@aol.com) from Southern, CA

Yeah, this is one of the best shows ever to be made.

It had good characters, great stories, twists, and some unexpected humor.

It's a really good show, and I'm not even over 60...or 30 for that matter.

-Guess who got me into the show though:...Grandparents. =)
