Negative Positive
Title: NOT reality
Review: This show epitomizes all that is wrong with society today. Throw together a bunch of semi-good-looking kids, overpriced mall clothing, and an SAT word list, and producers think they've got a hit show by banking on the stupidity of TV viewers. Unfortunately, they've succeeded, considering that this show is still on the air. This show tries too hard to be "realistic" (Joey Potter has a pretty nice wardrobe that never repeats for a so-called poor girl) and to "address issues" (is a student-teacher affair really as pertinent to teenagers as something like bullying or acne?). If you want a real show that portrays teenagers realistically, try My So-Called Life.
