I wonder what they were shooting there a few months ago! Maybe just external shots or something.

I can't wait. I know how wrong that it.

[eyeteeth]

That is the most annoying set of names and descriptions I've read in a long time. Too bad Taylor's probably a girl, otherwise it would be interesting.

[kasheri]

This is exactly what I want to know. Make Taylor male, and you got yourself a show, but she's probably female, and why the hell would I want to watch any of these people? Oops, I'm not the target audience. I keep forgetting.

[brianenigma]

Better yet, leave her female, let an audience get hooked, then later reveal that she was formerly male. Bonus points if she hasn't had "the operation" yet and still has a wang.

I hate to state the obvious here, but how many nouveau riche families can fit into one city? Or one tanning salon? Or one Kean? Oh this is fun!

[vanmojo]

Oh what in the nine-million-hells is this?!

I guess what gets me is the meta-discussion, or subtext that I'm not quite catching... I mean, they wouldn't make it if they didn't think they could get the kids to watch. (witness the exclusion of the inner quad gang)

So I guess what I am asking is that is there really a market of desparate, deluded children out there, who are not only rubber-necking to see the firey crash, but actually aspiring to be part of the callow, selfish, substance-addicted, false, solipsistic, Wannabe-Lord-of-the-Flies-training camp, train wreck that was/is the society encompassing Newport Harbor High?

It's a wonder we're sane...

The closest televison ever came to grappling with the geek reality in high school is Freaks and Geeks. Nothin any of these reality show jackels would come up could even touch that show.
