"life as we know it"
I'm laying on the couch watching this week's episode and I realized I really like this show. There is something weird about it that I haven't been able to put my finger on yet. It's based on a teen novel from the UK called "Doing It" which is floating around my house somewhere. It seems a lot like "My So-Called Life" with the focus on three boys and three girls (and parents) instead of just Angela.
Boywise: One of them was involved with a teacher and is dealing with that. One's parents are getting divorced and he is having relationship and sexual issues and the other guy is dating a girl he likes but she's Kelly Osborne so he has that to deal with.
Girlwise: One of them is a beautiful jock who is realizing that people don't like her and think she is stuck up and she just broke up with her boyfriend. One is smart and pretty and likes a boy who was sleeping with a teacher. She has a rep of a girl who has slept around but really hasn't. And one of them has self esteem issues and is Kelly Osborne so she has that to deal with.
Peter Dinklage from The Station Agent was on this episode as a counseler to help Dino after he punched someone.
As teen dramas go, this was is much more like DeGrassi or MSCL than Dawson's or the O.C. I think it's Thursdays at 8 on ABC but you should check your local listings and all of that.
