History Series / Blossom

* BeenThereShapedHistory: An episode spoofed the TropeNamer in a dream sequence. Blossom had this role and was responsible for inadvertently giving Music/MichaelJackson the inspiration for the moonwalk. The parody is spoiled because the writers didn't do their research — they meet after the Pepsi commercial shoot which left him injured, which was in 1984. He first performed the moonwalk the previous year.

* * BigBrotherInstinct: Both of Blossom's brothers are protective of her.
** Happens in the second episode when Blossom is going out with one of Joey's womanizing friends.
** Anthony also tries to steer Blossom away from drugs.

* ParentalSexualitySquick: Blossom's parents meet after the divorce, and sleep together again. Blossom and Tony discuss it later. In another episode, Blossom is uncomfortable to walk on the clearly post-coital Nick and Carol in the kitchen (given that they're wearing robes and the early morning hour, it's obvious that she spent the night).

* MotorMouth: Six speaks extremely rapid; she apparently has inherited from her mom Sharon, and sometimes they even motormouth simultaneously over each other.

* GlassesPull: In "The Date", Blossom character is assaulted by her date when she refuses to have sex with him. When she confides in her father, he takes off his glasses while declaring in a [[TranquilFury chillingly calm]] voice, "I'm going to kill him."

* SawItInAMovieOnce: Blossom blinds an intruder (who turns out to actually be her brother) by blowing talcum powder in his face. When Six asks her where she learned that trick, Blossom replies "[[Series/MacGyver1985]] [=MacGyver=]." Also an ActorAllusion.

* RaisedByDudes: Blossom herself is an interesting [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] in that while she's the only female in the Russian house after her parents' divorce, unlike most examples she has typically feminine interests.
