Interestingly, the writer points out that the show lacked good male role models.

You mean like the semi-dickhead Rico? I don't know how Jem\Jerica let him get away with the two timing. Sure she was the same person, but he didn't know that. Their whole relationship was one being mind buff. He would basically run in between the two telling one why the other sucked. lol I'd hoped knew about about it and was playing games with his girlfriend. But that would be mean also ...
I didn't care when I was little. I was all " Oh .... Rico!" -snickering- thanks for sharing.
