It was a dumb joke suggesting that I took the show for reality, which Jess took as an opportunity to make a rather ~~fun~~ gratuitously meanspirited joke at my expense. Hi Jess!

Spencer, Ned, you forgot about the part where they transmogrify into leather-skinned Republican Lizard Moms.

That's what makes it so great, though. If it were really good I don't think I would enjoy it as much.

Eep. I'll stick with my bad acting camp in 1 1/2 hour doses of standalone movies, too much and you OD.

You know, the "ODB on parole" documentary is on VH1 tonight.

I would think the TV show incorporates both.

I've run out of Dawson's Creek episodes (that show really turned to shit for the fifth season). Is this worth watching or should I wait for whatever appears on the WB this fall for my teen-fix?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 7 August 2003 18:42 (twenty years ago) link

It's as good as Dawson. Or as bad as Dawson.

If your dad's SUV collides with a tree in the San Bernardino National Forest with no one around to hear, does it make a sound?

― amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 7 August 2003 19:05 (twenty years ago) link

San Bernardino, what crack are you on. Aim more locally!

If your dad's SUV ends up in the Newport Beach Back Bay because of the coke he was snorting at the time, do you care?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 7 August 2003 19:07 (twenty years ago) link

This show is good. A contender for new 90210 perhaps.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 7 August 2003 19:19 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, it's 90210-esque? I hated that show.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 7 August 2003 19:34 (twenty years ago) link

so, heh, anyone besides me watching this tonight? i fully agree with the "new 90210" accessment, so if you go into it with that mindset it's golden.

It stars Peter Gallagher's eyebrows

Just peeked at the thread cause the show's coming on in a minute and I was curious if I should flip or put music on. Amateurist, I want you to do a commentary track for Short Cuts or something. "So, in this scene, I think what Peter Gallagher's eyebrows were going for was some way of conveying the events emotionally..."

I shun the show for it is not a WB creation. However, I have just been informed that Gilmore Girl's Dave Rygalsky is Seth. What of Lane's budding relationship? Or are they just going to cut her out of the show altogether? They may as well, seeing as little use they make of her wonderful character. And when does Jess's new show start? Venice Beach, here we come? Or have they thought better of themselves and nipped that idea in the bud?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 14 August 2003 18:55 (twenty years ago) link

I think the Jess show was cast aside.

Barton's gait distinctly evokes Gwyneth Paltrow's, but she also looks like a young Paulina Porizkova, and suspiciously like a runway alumna, though she started as a child stage actress. She's good. Her efforts to maintain her top-shelf high-school popularity even as she falls in with Ryan—greeting the old crowd, taking their cell calls, telling them all how much she loves them—seem right on. Her conversion from best girl to gun moll isn't happening overnight, and she clearly doesn't want to forfeit the prerogatives of insincerity too soon. Barton expresses this bet-hedging elegantly, without hamming it up.

See, a really good actress.

On the subject of Undeclared -- The creators (also of Freaks and Geeks!) are trying to start a new show along similar outcast-social-cliques. I s'pose the 3rd time is the charm.

― ModJ, Monday, 18 August 2003 18:59 (twenty years ago) link

Awesome. Those are two of my favorite recent shows.

Undeclared was ace. Last night the waif girl wanted to sleep with runaway hobo wife beater t-shirt guy. He even had on Jeff Buckley. He gave her scary eyes and she cried and left, all the while Billy Zabka sat in his pick up truck with the other guys from Kobra Kai dojo and watched her leave and wife beater t-shirt chased her. Billy Zabka got pissed and kicked some wife beater ass and then they burnt down a giant mansion. wierdo skateboarders mom wants to fuck the neighbor, its costing her one hundred thousand dollars for his financial planner penis. eventually peter gallaghers eyebrows get worked into the mix in an eyebrow and hair pie menage a trois.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

wife beater t-shirt spent the night in prison, a tatooed gent wanted to fuck him and skateboard kids mom when they came to visit. wife beater stepped up to tattoo and they fought. Hesitant perky tit skateboard kids mom decided to take wife beater home, for the 18th time. when they got home wife beaters REAL mother was there, looking like a 70's porno star. Peter Gallaghers eyebrows were also there. They decided to have porno mom stay with them for the night, clean her up and she goes to Vegas Night with the whole family. Tells wife beater t-shirt that she is not drinking anymore. When they get to Vegas night, waif girls SLUTTY camel toe mother is trying to find some cock. High comedy as porno mom gets drunk on 7/7 and falls down. Show ends with Turin Brakes playing, porno mom leaving, wife beater t-shirt making more scary eyes and a wave goodbye. Perky tits decided he can stay for good. Only took half the season already for this to be decided.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:02 (twenty years ago) link

Seriously, it's a good thing it happened last night, because they really couldn't draw that out any longer.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 19:35 (twenty years ago) link

now they are dragging out the impending hardcore fuck that muscle shirt and waif are going to have. get it over with already.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 12:49 (twenty years ago) link

This is TV, of course it has to be prolooooonged. For maximum dramatic effect, and to get full use of that particular facial expression the main character always uses. This show really does beat you over the head with the storyline.

Also, Che stuck around a few episodes too long, too. He was fine as the impetus for Summer's activist streak at Brown, but his arc should've ended when he got Summer kicked out of school. There was no absolutely no need for him to come to Newport and go on stupid adventures with Seth. And his appearances in Ryan/Taylor's coma dream and as Summer's champagne-fueled hallucination could've been fun if they didn't scream "9-episode contract."

kaitlin really was the best character during the last season, with julie and, yes, ryan coming in a close second and third

Evil Kaitlin was awesome. Kaitlin With A Heart, less so. (Kinda like Evil-then-Needy Taylor, awesome; Main Character Taylor not so much) I still haven't watched the last five or six episodes.

iirc s4 and 5 of this just went straight camp (not an oxymoron) to get away from the awful melodrama of 3, but 1 and 2 were genuinely sweet and funny teenpulp. i was in high school and i wasn't ashamed.

Somewhere in storage I've got tapes of at least the first mini season complete with all commercials left in. What a fascinating time machine watching them would be.

― Randall "Humble" Pie (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 12 August 2014 21:39 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, but she really didn't get much screen time at all until her "return" as the bad girl. (xpost)

It's been ages since I watched or rewatched a network melodrama. There are so many episodes, holy shit. Ryan and Marissa have already broken up for the first time and it's barely halfway through the first season. Seth and Anna have a relationship for three episodes!

Apparently the Cohen house burned down during the Woolsey Fire last year. Seems about right for plot line.
