Courtney Thorn-Smith-Thin

Courtney Thorne-Smith

is in two of the shows I've watched lately

- Melrose Place & Ally McBeal -

When Melrose started,

she seemed to just have a normal body,

but as the show progressed, she got smaller, and

- by the time she starred in Ally McBeal -

she'd gotten even more fit.

I really like her body, actually.

She's got great arms and a small waist

but it's obvious that her frame isn't tiny by nature,

so I can appreciate

the hard work she's put into maintaining her physique.

She's winy&needy on both shows,

but it's pretty funny&bearable.

As for "modern television,"

she's the mom on According to Jim

and she's still adorable&small.

I remember when that show first started

my mom mentioned thinking Courtney was cute

- now that I've seen her throughout the years -

I can see where the affection stems from.

I love the outfit she's wearing in the above photo, too.

It reminds me of dresses I dreamed of wearing

back in elementary school.
