I present to you an assortment of Blossom’s hats

[-]

MrRigby632@reddit

Even back then I thought Blossom was the lamest show on TV. I really find her off putting and obnoxious. Joey Lawrence was the worst, his pop career was as bad as anything currently in music.

[-]

midnightfartangel@reddit

Why was her friend named “Six”? Couldn’t take the show seriously. I preferred “My So Called Life”

[-]

Reasonable-Wave8093@reddit

That was the worst show for me! i only liked Ricki

[-]

midnightfartangel@reddit

Ricki was the best friend you could ever need. They all didn’t deserve him.

[-]

postitpad@reddit

That was how many beers it took. Iirc.

[-]

Kittypie75@reddit

Chilli from TLC and his little brother, Matthew Lawrence are currently a couple.

I don't know why but I think that's adorable lol

[-]

MrRigby632@reddit

Boy meets World is like 1000x the show this could be in its best episodes.

[-]

mrsringo@reddit

I recently rewatched this show and she very rarely wore hats. I think it was for promo pics or something

[-]

Savingskitty@reddit

I really thought Six was the one wearing hats most of the time.

[-]

mrsringo@reddit

Oh definitely more than Blossom, good call

[-]

Ar first I thought that if you put the same hats on Winona Ryder in Reality Bites, or on Bridget Fonda in Singles then they are cool. But then I scrolled though them again, and no, they still wouldn’t be.

[-]

JamarcusFarcus@reddit

My secret power was making any girl immediately take off a hat she was wearing by calling her blossom

[-]

Nice_Exercise5552@reddit

She’s doesn’t seem to wear them anymore, but her face seems to be made for a hat with a big ol’ flower! She’s Jewish but should still invest in some church lady hats! She can can the “British Royal Wedding Hats” or something. Or, better yet, just “90s girl throwbacks”

[-]

iknowiknowwhereiam@reddit (OP)

Hats were in fashion at shuls in the 90s too

[-]

tomqvaxy@reddit

I’m kind of a weirdo and dress kind of weird and always have and people were like oh my gerrrrd you should wear hats like Blossom and I was like no she looks like a potted plant. Iirc the show was okay for a sitcom tho.

[-]

momofwon@reddit

When I was 16 I was on a packed elevator and she got on and I blurted out “aren’t you BLOSSOM?!?” super loud and she looked mortified. I have felt bad about that for 25 years.

[-]

Same-Dinner2839@reddit

Jonathan Taylor Thomas got on a hotel elevator with me and my brother when I was 16. He was filming Man Of The House in Vancouver. I laughed as I got off on our floor, not at him but more about the absurdity of seeing the kid from Home Improvement. I’ve felt bad about it ever since.

[-]

charutobarato@reddit

I got stitches in my leg at a big clinic in LA when I was 20 and Elizabeth Shue got on the elevator. To this day I frequently regret not crane kicking my way off the elevator.

[-]

SirStocksAlott@reddit

I’d say to both of you that it’s okay to let it go. You both were having genuine moments with positive intention. Being excited to see someone you’ve seen on TV and never met in person sounds like a special moment. Are there any positive things during that memory that you can remember too? Mind sharing?

[-]

ShillinTheVillain@reddit

Laughing at JTT in the elevator is what made him quit acting. He's never truly gotten over it.

Asking Mayim Bialik if she was Blossom traumatized her. "Is that all I am, all I'll ever be?" And that questioned haunted her, and fueled her to pursue medical science.

Probably not. But imagine...

Back then I was too busy paying attention to Six to notice Blossom's hats

I remember being mad at Joey for not going for it in that one episode, lol.

Once I got a hat like this and a baby doll dress from Contempo Casuals I thought I was gonna be unstoppable.

[-]

owlthebeer97@reddit

Yesss I had a black hat with pink trim and a pink flower I thought I was so cool.

[-]

hunchinko@reddit

Omg I got mine at 5-7-9

[-]

dancydistractions@reddit

This is exactly what I think of when I see a Blossom reference! For my 6th grade dance I got a baby doll sunflower dress and a “Blossom” hat from Contempo!

[-]

You are unstoppable.

[-]

SocializeTheGains@reddit

The socks!!

[-]

No way I forgot about that store. It had such a distinct smell.

[-]

Someidiot666-1@reddit

I literally hate this lady. Antivax, stole the Jeopardy job from Ken Jennings being full time. Ugh. She sucks imo.

[-]

Flowofinfo@reddit

Ken Jennings is the full time host of jeopardy

[-]

Someidiot666-1@reddit

Haven’t watched this summer but he and her were splitting time as host. Didn’t see that he has it full time now.

[-]

Flowofinfo@reddit

She literally stopped hosting the spring before last. It’s been like a year and a half that she’s been gone

[-]

unsolicitedreview@reddit

Not to mention Weinstein victim-blaming, weird-ass parenting advice, and making fun of the current war... There is something deeply wrong with her.

[-]

LeoDavinciAgain@reddit

They just keep getting worse.

Those aren't hats, they're balloons, for a party!

[-]

Release_Me_Please@reddit

Wow I can hear this line in my mind… was that from Roseanne then? I can’t find any trace of this online

[-]

Specialist-Fill24@reddit

Blossom sketch from an old episode of SNL. Sara Gilbert as Six. For me, it's one of those lines that burrows into you forever. If I even think of Blossom, I think of that line. Mike Myers did a surprisingly good Joey Lawrence.

[-]

Release_Me_Please@reddit

Ohhhhh yea. God I haven’t thought of this I’d years. Thank you!!

[-]

StaceyPfan@reddit

Sara Michelle Gellar's episode was the best!

[-]

Dry_Inspection_4583@reddit

The sheer brain power of this woman was truly unknown to me at the time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayim_Bialik

She's wildly smart, aka. the real big brain theory

[-]

Fecal_Forger@reddit

What an asshat she turned out to be.

[-]

KinopioToad@reddit

I never got into Blossom. Why does she look so familiar?

[-]

Lacplesis81@reddit

She was in Big Bang Theory

[-]

KinopioToad@reddit

I didn't watch that show either but I know many of the actors from clips and bloopers. Is she Sheldon's love interest? (if you want to call her that. Lol)

[-]

Shanntuckymuffin@reddit

This was part of NYTs Connections today and I had to explain who Blossom was (the woman with the giant floppy hats with a flower on it).

[-]

Every_Instruction775@reddit

That’s crazy since Mayim Bialik was on more contemporary shows like Big Bang Theory. She hosted Jeopardy for awhile after Alex Trebeck died. She’s a certified genius (IQ wise, she has a doctorate as well) and she’s very outspoken about the way she raises her children which has made waves. I can understand people not knowing “Blossom” but not knowing Mayim Bialik is surprising to me.

[-]

reznxrx@reddit

Ah, Jenna Von Öy...

[-]

Happycat5300@reddit

I liked how she went on to become the token white friend on The Parkers

[-]

reznxrx@reddit

I had to look this one up. The only thing I knew she did after blossom was being a country singer.

[-]

LeoDavinciAgain@reddit

Stevie!

[-]

LeoDavinciAgain@reddit

Six!

[-]

Andi081887@reddit

I had that denim one. I also had a matching denim hat for my American Girl doll. We were very hip. 😂

Did you know in 1993 there always a “Blossom” line of clothes? I do 🫣

[-]

Mr_SunnyBones@reddit

Nowadays she just wears the "crazy person on the internet" hat

[-]

yukdumboobum26@reddit

12 year old me, thought that Blossom so the prettiest girl. I knew that Six was traditionally cuter but not to me.

[-]

GeetarEnthusiast85@reddit

I watched this show religiously every afternoon when I was a kid. Now it seems like it's one of the few shows from my youth that never gets mentioned these days.

[-]

reznxrx@reddit

Afternoon? When was this?! I was a weekly prime time viewer lol

[-]

GeetarEnthusiast85@reddit

Look, all I know is I watched it every afternoon on TBS or WB or one of those.

nahmahnahm@reddit

My husband has a huge crush on Mayim Bialik. Which I find hilarious because he’s 37 (I’m 42) and none of her shows, except Jeopardy, were geared towards his demographic.

[-]

gorilla-ointment@reddit

Lol no one has a crush on Mayim Bialik.

[-]

Happycat5300@reddit

Maybe from Big Bang?

[-]

nahmahnahm@reddit

Nope! Neither of us ever watched that show!

[-]

Happycat5300@reddit

your life is better for it, I can't stand that show lol

[-]

Those outfits and a bf named Six could they have lesbian coded her any harder?

Wait, so that first one is just a headband?!

[-]

naanofyourbusinesss@reddit

Right??

[-]

catcherofsun@reddit

I dressed up as blossom for some Halloween thing at my elementary school

[-]

iknowiknowwhereiam@reddit (OP)

I remembered she had a lot but didn’t remember just how bad every single one was

[-]

Reasonable-Wave8093@reddit

It’s the anne geddes baby accessories

[-]

TrashCarrot@reddit

It's the sardines.

[-]

GutsAndBlackStufff@reddit

And pork and beans?

[-]

Reasonable-Wave8093@reddit

That gave her such nice skin

[-]

colo_kelly@reddit

In my opinion-ation, the sun is gonna surely shine

[-]

InStilettosForMiles@reddit

Holy crap. I haven't heard this jingle in probably 30 years and completely forgot how it goes.

But as soon as I read these words, I can instantly hear the guy's raspy voice and the 12 or so piano notes that follow it.

Fascinating how the brain works, especially with music!!!

[-]

bolunez@reddit

The one with the sardines on it has me rolling

[-]

Happycat5300@reddit

Stop with the heressy they are amazing!!!!

[-]

Maaaaaandyyyyy@reddit

I watched blossom all the time my sisters and I would make fun of but also dance to the intro haha! But wait… Is that first hat just a brim?? I feel like i see hair on top!

[-]

t_bone_stake@reddit

I think you’re correct on the first hat.

[-]

RoyalZeal@reddit

Bialik can take a hike with her victim blaming bs.

Blossom, coach, full house and community were in the NYT Connections today

[-]

I tried to describe this show to my 22 year old employee recently, it was a weird experience lol

[-]

StaceyPfan@reddit

Did she ever have sex with Vinnie?

[-]

imJGott@reddit

I had a crush on Six.

[-]

Marlboro_Gold@reddit

The first one is not a hat. If you look closely the top of her head is her hair. lol

Omg, hat 2 is the worst. Yes even worse than the sardines hat. Just awful. Like a super cheap Easter basket on her head.

We should do a thread about Tia and Tamera’s hats next. And Alex Mack’s.

I have kind of a big nose and had one of these hats. Thought I was the cutest chick on the cul de sac for a few months.

[-]

Notebook47@reddit

I love her. She was so cute. I had a denim hat with a big pink rose holding up the brim. I was too shy to wear it in public. These hats really make a statement, lol.

How has she gotten so many shows over the years? She was/is so bland.

I have such animosity towards her for being one of the reasons LeVar Burton didn't get Jeopardy.

[-]

OJimmy@reddit

A checkstand cashier lady was wearing a blossom hat at Walmart on Saturday. I almost asked her about it.

[-]

odin_the_wiggler@reddit

I'll never forget the final episode of Blossom when Blossom leaves to go to school in Paris and Blossoms Dad's girlfriend finds out she's pregnant.

I've never felt so bad for a fictional father...

[-]

Happycat5300@reddit

that one hit me so hard cause my father had just gotten remarried and started a new family. thanks for bringing up that sad memory I had buried lol

THANK YOU OP! I've been meaning to do a Blossom Hat Appreciation post!!!

Man did my Blossom hat with the big blue flower get some heavy rotation in 6th grade, loved that thing.
I won "most unique" in 8th grade and characters like Blossom, Clarissa, Alex Mac, Punky B definitely inspired me to follow my own sense of style. I hope girls nowadays are still getting characters like that.
