The Johnny Bravo cartoon followed the life of the cocky and dimwitted yet loveable mama's boy Johnny Bravo. He was extra muscular and gave you straight Elvis with his voice and movements.
Before writing this I had no idea just how long Johnny Bravo had been on air. It went from 1997 to 2004. It was originally created by a man named Van Partible. He had mad a short animated show and showed it to a friend of his that worked for the Hanna-Barbera company. You know the company that brought us classics like the Flintstones, The Jetsons, and The Yogi Bear Show. SO anyways his friend was all you should make some shorts of this character for us and as any fresh out of college individual would say Partible said - sure, why not. Sidenote - he worked alongside the creators of The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory when he first started. Oh and he also worked around this other fresh out of college talent you've probably never heard of - Seth MacFarlane!
Van Partible Voice over cast
Even though he was mad cocky Johnny taught us somethings especially when it comes to confidence and persistence.
Plus he had great one liners
So, what's your favorite Johnny Bravo quote? -Buttercup
So with finals coming and the stress building, I decided to watch tv. I was channel surfing when I ran across a classic, Gilmore Girls. Now this shows holds a special place in my heart. I use to watch this show all the time with the mom. It was our girl time show. We would get a big thing of ice cream and watch Lorelai and Rory try to find themselves as mother and daughter in the fictional town of Hollow, Connecticut.
Gilmore Girls is a comedy drama that originally aired on the WB which is now the CW (every since that change the shows just haven't been the same). The show follows the lives of Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter also called Lorelai Gilmore, but prefers to be called Rory (Alexis Bledel). It follows Lorelai's journey of being the pregnant teen runaway and high school dropout to the co-owner of the Dragonfly Inn. It also highlight's the life of Rory as she adjusts to the transition from public high school to a prestigious private school. Lorelai and Rory have a loving mother and daughter relationship that every girl dreams of having with her mom. However, be careful of what you wish for because throughout the series Lorelai and Gilmore do struggle with their relationship multiple times (but what mother and daughter doesn't). Anyways besides the female bonding and drama, Gilmore Girls provides some excellent eyecandy.
This handsome thing of a man plays Rory's first boyfriend.

Rory likes blonde boys as well.

Let's not forget mama Lorelai taste in men.
I can rant on and on about how much I love this show and the script. It is just everything that a girl should have in her life. This shows makes you want to gather all your girlfriends and sit down in front of the tv and just enjoy it. Sadly however, they were cancelled (silently wiping). It hurts knowing that there will no longer be anymore Rory and Lorelai. I mean I have grown to naturally sing along with the catchy tune for the introduction (down below) and now it's over. But, with every bad news there is good news because you can still catch reruns on tv or skip the trouble of channel surfing and just buy the whole season of Gilmore Girls off of Amazon.
Well that's it peeps until next time.
