Big thanks to Manscaped for supporting this video.

"Nobody watched"!? It was my life!!! I recorded every episode on VSH. I grew up at a farm in the Norwegian woods – I think they aired it on Swedish TV or NRK. But yeah I had red hair and Angela was my Queen!!

The way that Christmas episode makes me bawl hysterically

The irony in being persecuted for being honest that they would’ve been persecuted in Nazi germany is just staggering and deeply shameful.

Thank you for this video

I watched..my friends and I in Ireland were absolutely obcessed

Well done, I did not watch it. And now you have been given the chance to heal the lost. NAMASTE 🙏🙏🙏

Oh my god the quick cut costume change just as Angela dyes her hair! Just when I think your videos couldn’t get more delightful. And then casually tossing off the “opinionation” Blossom joke 😭

This and Freaks and Geeks were great shows. And each one only one season.

I watched! Back then! I'd just moved to NYC for my job!

You kinda ate with the locks here

I cannot tell you how much this episode affirmed my life and experiences in my teens and early 20s. First I was the confusing kid and then I was the teacher stuck between kids like me and a system that could ruin my life.
It was so long ago, and so far from my very out life now that it didn't feel real anymore.
I love all your videos but this one has made me need to do a lot of shadow work and I appreciate it. ❤

I watched this show a couple years ago! I watched every episode except the finale because I didn't want to finish it 😂

I love Rickie so very much ❤ Gay men have been my allies since I can remember, and (as a usually het-passing woman) I have always been theirs. Maybe it was because my favorite uncle was gay, or my mom is basically nonbinary, but I wouldn’t hesitate to go to bat for someone like Rickie. We’d have been best friends.

I was so in love with my gay best friend. He never said he was gay but I knew and for him. I think it was comforting. He ended up moving across the country and broke my heart, but he's the most amazing and kind person I know and is living as his authentic self ❤

I sometimes feel almost sort of guilty because I didn't realize I'm "flexible" until I was in my 20s, and I didn't have any of the horrible experiences that so many lgbtq people have; it's hard for me to relate. People ask "who was your queer awakening" but if someone was to ask me who was my bi awakening…I dunno, honestly. I…kinda got into it through…ahem. Adult entertainment. And then I found androgynous models online and started realizing that yeah, I'm really into these guys whose gender you can't immediately tell, the more effeminate the better. And then it sort of went from there. My dad found some stuff on an old computer of mine and took me to a coffee shop, and…well, that's how he found out what I was still exploring. That's been…what, 15 years ago now? Roughly?

And I don't really get out much, but I hear so many stories about people whose experiences have been so horrific because people suck. It's all over the lgbtq communities out there, and we're the only support we have. Honestly feel more like an ally sometimes than a bi guy who wishes so many things about my life were different, including that I had more freedom to explore certain sides of myself. There's fear there even though I don't usually face the kind of prejudice that so many people do, and my heart aches for real people who have experiences like the character this guy played.
