'Blossom' debuted on NBC in 1991, giving 'tween and teen girls a new character to relate to: Blossom Russo, a teenage girl who lived with her two brothers and her father, and learned life lessons about abuse, drugs, and divorce -- not your typical family sitcom, to say the least. But Blossom wasn't your average girl, either, and that's what made her special. She was quirky, had cool fashion sense and, above all, she was relateable. The show ended almost 20 years ago, so join us for a look at the cast of this classic sitcom and see what they're up to now!

Then: Mayim Bialik played the title character, Blossom, the youngest daughter of her divorced father. Blossom had two brothers and a best friend named Six, and together they all learned valuable life lessons about the tougher elements of life.

Now: Bialik left acting for a bit to focus on school, and received her PhD in neuroscience. She had a recurring role on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' as Jodi Funkhauser, Marty's daughter, and appeared in an episode of TLC's 'What Not to Wear,' in which she received a makeover. She currently stars on 'The Big Bang Theory' as Amy Farrah Fowler -- a role which has netted her a pair of Emmy nominations.

Then: Joey Lawrence played Joey Russo, Blossom's sort of dumb brother -- he was a jock, a ladies' man, and regularly delivers his exaggerated catchphrase, "Whoa!"

Now: Lawrence currently stars on the ABC Family sitcom 'Melissa and Joey' with fellow former '90s family sitcom star Melissa Joan Hart. Lawrence also co-hosted the ABC celebrity reality competition 'Splash,' in which celebs must train with professionals to perform high dives into a swimming pool.

Now: Von Oy appeared in the Lifetime original movie 'She Cried No,' with 'Full House' star Candace Cameron and 'Saved by the Bell' star Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

Then: Melissa Manchester, a singer whose adult contemporary music was very popular in the '80s and '90s, played Maddy, Blossom's mom. Maddy left her family to move to Paris and have her own life, but came back a few seasons later to try and repair the damage. She's best known for her song 'Don't Cry Out Loud.'

Now: Manchester is working on a new album. She briefly appeared in the 2011 indie film 'Dirty Girl,' in a non-speaking capacity as a piano player when the lead character sings 'Don't Cry Out Loud' at a talent show.

Then: David Lascher played Blossom's on-again/off-again boyfriend, Vinnie. You could tell he was a tough guy because he wore a leather jacket and his name sounded like a 'Sopranos' character.

Now: Lascher appeared on the TV show version of 'Clueless' and in the film 'White Squall,' but he's perhaps known best for his role on 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' as Josh, Sabrina's barista boyfriend in later seasons. 'Sabrina' also starred Melissa Joan Hart, giving 'Blossom' yet another connection to the actress. In recent years, he hasn't done much on-camera work, taking a handful of roles in films and TV-movies.
