I was never a big fan of the Laguna Beach or The Hills, but it managed to catch me at certain points to grab my interest. I admit that if nothing else is on CosmoTV that I will sit and flick back and forth between The City and The Hills.. but I cannot get into Peak Season.
I don’t understand the concept. Come watch aspiring alcoholics with nothing else to do in life (especially the Lauren girl who clearly is in the beginning stages of alcoholism.) They sit in their houses eating toast, reading their blackberrys and talking about the same group of guys. The SAME group. All of them. And all of them are getting cheated on. By each other. This is essentially a show about incest, minus they’re not related (that we know of.)
I’m willing to bet the next “scandal” is a pregnancy scare. By one of the girlfriends-being-cheated-on-by-their-loving-boyfriend who both loves them one second and is miserable about the relationship by the next commercial.
Is MTV running out of ideas? Or are we really supposed to be drawn to a bunch of drunk teenagers with no aspiration who just happened to land a spot on television? Let’s recap what The Hills, The City and Peak Season all seem to have in common:
Drum roll.
Teenagers with drinking problems that have too much money and free time. These teenagers also seem to have absolutely zero self-respect and must have parents who have either never heard of television, or are hippies.
Is this what we want to see?
