I can't even remember now, did Kevin end up with Winnie at the end?

Last thing first:
No.
The attraction isn't about how cute she was (I found he way cute and would buy Bop! if she was on the cover), it's about her transition to being cute in Kevin's eyes, and how the girl he shrugged off he now finds unattainable (at times).

It's about your first crush, your first break-up, your first love and so on. It gets a bit silly near the last seasons, but overall it is terrific.

Yeah I see what you mean. I just meant that as a kid, I didn't really see how Danica Mckellar was all that attractive. I dont mean Winnie, I mean the actress that played her didn't 'do' much for me. back then, anyway, lol.

Now, she's quite a looker.

Funny, I was gonna say the same thing about Winnie, but decided not to.

And what a weird name, I always thought. Why not Wendy? The only other Winnie I've ever heard of is the bear.

I did. But I also wondered why girls thought Kirk Cameron was cute.

Still think she was cute, but I was more attracted to the character of Winnie. I would wager girls liked Kirk's character more than Kirk himself.

IIRC here real name was Gwendolyn? In the first ep, Kevin goes to see her at the bus stop and he calls her Winnie, but she says "Im going by Gwendolyn this year... call me Gwendolyn."

Did anyone else watch the BET awards? Jamie Foxx is one weird dude. He wore a shirt with Trayvon Martin on it and asked "What's the message?" he said there was none. Uh-huh.

And he also ended his speech with "We're all Django!".

The entire awards show wasn't like the previous BET Award shows I've watched, but they have been getting less and less classy over the years and the talent and winners less humble.

Oh well. Not that the MtV Awards aren't any crappier.

What? He's upset that an African American teenager was killed by a Hispanic man with a Jewish last name who was subsequently labeled white and tried by the media using doctored audio and photographs. CNN even ran Zimmerman's home address, phone number, and social security number on air yesterday.

That said, he's totally not upset about black on black violence in Chicago resulting in the deaths of children. Or at least not upset enough to make and wear a t-shirt about it.

It is really, really bad in Chicago. Maybe the worst it has ever been.

I'm not following the Zimmerman trial, and only care that justice is served. The media sure is loving it though.

Well I guess since it's been brought up:

Every once in a while I see someone try and call Zimmerman a "hero." Absolute best case scenario he was a man who used poor judgment and instigated a fight that ultimately lead to him shooting an unarmed teenager in self defense. There's nothing "heroic" about anything he's done, period.

That said, as a general rule I don't like media circus court cases.
