Monkey Paprika, Or The Dog That Really Liked The Smell Of Other Dog's Rectums

Is it called a rectum on a dog? I am unfamiliar with dog anatomy. I really don't go exploring down there as often as I should; I ran out of peanut butter also.

I can only seem to recall three particular scenes from NBC's hit sitcom "Blossom":

1. Blossom and Joey are eating breakfast at the kitchen table. Blossom pours herself a bowl of cereal, only to realize after pouring that there is no milk left. She is visibly annoyed, as we see Joey enjoying his cereal, containing the last of the families milk. Joey offers a solution, suggesting that because he has finished the cereal portion of his bowl, she may help herself to the milk at the bottom. Blossom angrily tells Joey that she would not use his "dirty milk". Joey, good-natured but somewhat slow individual that he was, did not understand, and this parlay delighted the audience.

2. The family is at Disneyworld, as all sitcoms from the early 90's are contractually obligated to visit Disneyland in at least a two-part episode and/or season finale. Joey, good-natured but somewhat socially unaware individual that he is, is seen attempting to hit on the Cinderella charecter, with the famous Disneyland castle occupying the background. Cinderella proceeds to inform Joey, keeping in her charecter as all quality charecter performers do, that she cannot marry anyone unless their father is a king. "The king?" Joey asks. He tells Cinderella that it is a ridiculous notion for his father to be the king. We then cut, immedietly after this statement, to Joey's father, playing an Elvis impersonator at Disneyland. He spouts some innocuous phrase typically associated with Elvis, perhaps "Thank you very much" or something similar. (This set up may have been built earlier in the episode, but unfortunantly memory of anything prior to this scene is currently unavailable.) The comedy here lies in the fact that Elvis is also known as "The King of Rock and Roll", or simply "King" for short, because of his contributions to rock and roll music in the 50's, and that Joey, a scene earlier, had just finished saying his father couldn't possibly king, not realizing his father was an Elvis impersonator.

3. Blossom is found on the couch, watching MTV. Joey comes in and asks what she's watching. She says she is watching music videos, makes some sort of reference to the plot outline of the earlier part of the episode, then leaves the room, leaving Joey, good-natured but somewhat very untalented individual that he is, alone watching current musical celebrities perform pieces in the video format popularized in the 80's. He lies down, and proceeds to fantasize about what it would be like to be one of the artists on MTV. He falls asleep, and we cut to a dream sequence (with a blurry light outline so as to let the audience know this a dream) where Joey is in a music video. However, this music video is an actual music video from Joey Lawrence, the actor who portrays the charecter Joey. Lawrence was, apparantly, attempting to branch out as a musician at the same time as acting, and this ending to the episode was used to showcase his attempt, and failure, at a musical career. Credits roll.

I don't know why I thought of these: I never watched Blossom nor ever liked it. For some reason these three scenes stick out in my mind, and I thought I'd share them with you.
