Michael…. is smiling…. [brain explodes]
I can’t tell who any of these people are except Lori Laughlin (really? Lori Laughlin??), but I will tell you who they’re cheap knock-offs of, from left to right:
1) Bret Harrison in Reaper/Ferris Bueller
2) Sharon Stone
3) Oh wait, that’s Jessica Walter! Cool!
4) Amanda Bynes
5) Michael. Smiling. I’ve never seen him look this happy.
6) Lori Laughlin, sigh
7) Too distracted by the blue rope around his neck. Is it a tape measure? A tiny, tiny scarf? Please explain.
8 ) Mischa Barton/Keira Knightley
9) Piz
Based on that, I think they should get an Alan Thicke knock-off for the dad.
You know, I wasn’t a big 90210 watcher (those were still my Saved by the Bell days), but I seem to recall that the parents actually looked like…parents. They didn’t wear Forever 21 minidresses, Aunt Becky. Sigh. What hath The OCk wrought?
The cheap knockoff of Amanda Bynes is a late-comer to (and now, I assume, will be exiting) the Degrassi: The Next Generation cast. To her credit, she is hotter and probably a better actress than Amanda Bynes (no mugging, no sketch-comedy ambitions). To the show’s debit, there are way more interesting/likable/talented Degrassi cast members they could’ve signed for this.
