Gee, I didn't think this show would hit the UK for a while yet.
I've never missed an episode :P
It's a soap opera a la first-year BH90210 and couldn't possibly be taken
too seriously.
Let me just say that none of the main actors/actresses are over 20, but
the characters certainly seem over 15. Oh well.
And please don't think this show reflects cutting edge music in America.
Most of the music they use is crap. Oh well. At least they've used local
(Chicago) stalwarts, The Slugs, twice (Soon to celebrating their 15th
anniversary. Their 3rd album might come out this year).

Katie Holmes ("Joey") is the cutest actress EVER!

Thankfully it's on Tuesday here. Otherwise I'd be out having fun and not
watching TV. What're you doing home on a Saturday night?

If TV were so much like real-life boredom, then why the hell would
_anyone_ wanna watch? I certainly don't remember anyone in _my_ high
school looking so goddamn cute.

Real life can be awfully boring sometimes. That is why Hollywood spends
millions of dollars everyday to entertain us. I find solace in taking
advantage of that.
