    "He meant that his stars are adults stuck in the awkward (but fat-free) bodies of teenagers."


    God, whenever I think I cannot love JDS more, he writes something brilliant like this and I am a sucker for love. Please, pretty please Gawker, please have him write recaps for this show!!

    I think this show is singularly going to bring about the end of Western Civilization. And I can't wait to watch it.

    In episode three, the earth is going to open up and swallow these kids whole. And then probably spit them right back out.

    where do they go to school? commenters at nymag think it's one of the "inferior" preps like dwight because you can be sure that the parents and headmasters of spence, brearley, chapin or collegiate would never allow their children to be caught dead on this show.

    @bess marvin, girl detective: According to an article in yesterday's NY Post: Dwight, Nightingale-Bamford, Birch Wathen Lenox, the Ross School (actually in Easthampton, not NYC) & Stuyvesant (a few generations of my family can now be embarrassed for having gone there).

    Stein: It's hard not to laugh at their myopia, ridicule their inconsequential chamber dramas and scoff at their teenage histrionics. And that's exactly what the audience did, over and over again through the hourlong show. The cast slumped further down in their seats.


    This is golden. And he calls Andy Cohen "unctuous": "-adjective

    1.characterized by excessive piousness or moralistic fervor, esp. in an affected manner; excessively smooth, suave, or smug.

    2.of the nature of or characteristic of an unguent or ointment; oily; greasy. "

    So when do they air the episode where the kids go to Mexico and come back with Swine Flu? Because it seems that that's pretty standard for NYC prep school kids nowadays.

    @meg9: HELLO? You ALWAYS need the underprivileged kid clamoring for acceptance to add that flair of true elitism to the rest of the cast!


    Seriously, this is going to be like if Lil Orphan Annie lived in Laguna Beach, and were constantly trying to suck up to Kristin Cavallari.

    I wish tv would stop giving me more faux-aspirational shows about teenagers to watch. It's really interfering with my personal development.
