Blossom

I have been a fan of Mayim Bialik since I was nine! Seeing the first episode of Call Me Kat season two brought back a lot of memories.

When I was eleven years old, my physical therapist was a young actor who often had auditions at Sunset Gower Studios, where Blossom was filmed. While I was doing my leg exercises, he told me to continue independently while he made a phone call. After therapy, I found out that he had called someone who worked on my favorite T. V. Show! He had made arrangements for me to go to a taping.

That day was the most exciting day of my life! The front entrance to the studio was not accessible, so when we were trying to find our way around, we ran into one of the producers of the show, who took us to the entrance that the actors of the show use. At this point, my brain is about to explode! We entered the studio through the backstage makeup area.

The area where the studio audience was seated was not accessible, so my family and I were allowed to sit closer to the stage than anyone else.

During the show, Mayim came over to me, introduced herself, and hugged me. I also was lucky enough to meet David Lascher, who played Blossom’s boyfriend, Vinnie. He was very sweet, and he blew my mind because he held my hand!!

I also vividly remember seeing Joey Lawrence up close a few times, but I was too nervous about getting his attention because the first row of the audience was a row of screaming teenage girls. I can still hear them screaming

How old are you?!!

And Joey answering back

I’m eighteen!

And after that, more none stop. screaming

After the show, we exited the room the way we entered. I was able to talk to Mayim and David, and they both autographed photos for me.

David signed a cast photo and wrote:

To Marie, All my Love David

And Mayim signed a solo headshot that said

To Marie Thanks for visiting Love Mayim

I also remember that before I walked out. The door, I left my phone number and address with Mayim, and I asked her to give it to Joey. I never got anything from him, but that day was one of the best days ever!
