A truly original teen-drama
This is one of the few TV shows I can think of that was always consistent during its time on-air. There was a great ensemble cast who never failed to entertain week after week and could perform both comedy and drama to a high standard. The writers managed to bring out every emotion. A great example is the episode 'Ch-Ch-Changes' (#118) about a male teacher going about a sex change. The first half of the show was extremely funny, but then it seamlessly changed in tone to be about discrimination and had an ending that couldn't help but leave a tear in your eye. Despite some great dramatic storylines the show never took itself too seriously, and characters like Nicole and Mary Cherry were always around to provide some light relief. The show has been sorely missed since its cancellation.
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
A funny and moving film
I wasn't sure what to expect when approaching this film but found it to be both funny and incredibly moving. All the cast give brilliant performances, particularly Natasha Lyonne in the lead role. There can't be many people, gay or straight, who do not feel touched after seeing this film. watch this hilarious commentary on the society we live in.
