I had such high hopes.
Preemptively, I figured I would TiVo it. Not just the first one, mind you, that I would be missing due to Bikini Boot Torture, but the WHOLE * ENTIRE * SEASON. This Ohio-bred gal is an optimist, you see.
Fox has surprised me, lately, with its shows. After getting hooked on “24” in the second season, and still with fond memories of series gone to the great big television in the sky like “90210” (RIP, Brandon, Brenda, Dylan & the crew), I figured this new summer series would offer me just what I wanted – a nice distraction from my sore muscles. Instead, it’s bikini-clad girl after bikini-clad girl who haven’t yet gotten the post-college pooch that is too-often referred to as FUPA. Even the buff, brawny hunkerifics gallivanting next to the aforementioned skinny bitches can’t make up for what basically is a pathetic knock-off of the semi-pathetic “Las Vegas.” You know it’s a sad day when Fox knocks off a cheezeball moderately-received series. It’s even on the same night.
You’ve got the working class hotel manager (playing the same role as the ever-delicious Josh Duchemel does on LV) whose best friend growing up just happens to be the same gorgeous co-worker that is conveniently still in love with him, and has been for years. Add the daughter of a hotel mogul to complete this little love triangle, the scenes with the the typical “difficult guests”, and they might as well just have called it “North Shore: What You Shouldn’t Be Watching in the Off Chance that you’re Missing Las Vegas this Summer.”
I mean really – better time would be spent checking out my Birthday photos.

Totally agree. I had high hopes of an OC-like addiction. Nope. That show was bor-ing and so predictable.
Nice candle. Heh.
I thought I was going to TiVo the entire third season of Alias, and not watch a single one until I’d finished season 2, but it didn’t work out. Instead, I’ve opted to reserve the series as a whole only for DVD and High Definition. Simply put, Jennifer deserves nothing better than DVD or better resolution, and full-on surround sound. Yes, that’s right, I’m an Alias snob.
Well, I’m glad to hear that show sucks, without having to have watched it. Unfortunately, I have to admit to liking The OC. That freakin Seth cracks me up. On the other hand, even catching a single moment of ‘Charmed’ or ‘The Gilmore Girls’, even in passing, somehow awakens a murderous rage within me.
