Popular was way before it's time. It's still extremely relevant. The show dealt with everything from bullying to eating disorders which is prevelant now more than ever.

I originally started watching because the main actresses were extremely hot, which they still are.

They even wrote a season 3 script. I always thought Carly Pope (the brunette) was hotter than Leslie Bibb (the blonde!)

OMG LOOK AT WHAT I JUST FOUND... THANK THE YOUTUBE HEAVENS!!!

I slept with Josh... And Joe and Lilly watched! Haha. This episode was up for an award for best writing! 

Like literally laughed my *** off for the whole entire episode... the writers were pure genius. Mary Cherry <3 hahaha "Who's joe?" (hey!)

And was it really? I mean it would make sense Blum 3 just brilliant!

Such a great show! Mary Cherry was funny! Shut your dirty ***** mouth player player! It was a great episode! Definitely one of the best episodes. I also liked the ending when Nicole revealed her secret! 

Joe haha I loved how she made up a name for him!

Episode 15 is also really good!!! It's all about sexual harrassment from male/female, straight/gay... and also touches on parental divorce and how Josh deals with it. Such serious topics, but does it in such a way that is both educational and entertaining lol

(the episode unsurprisingly also won an award haha)

when Lily wore a tiny dress and they all got sent to boot camp? It really was way before it's time. They had some serious issues in the 2nd season also. Like when 3 of them ended up in the hospital and when Sugar Daddy tried to pick a place for a dance but they said no because he was too heavy and when Brooke asked they said yes. It's still true today. 

TV News Wrap Up: Keanu Reeves Sci-Fi Series, CBS Stephen King Pilot & More

The Stephen King short story adaption, The Things They Left Behind, sounds interesting! A supernatural procedural that "centers on an unlikely pair of investigators carrying out the unfinished business of the dead." I'm liking it.

My two cents...

I'm a big fan of Stephen King, especially his short stories. The Things They Left Behind is a good one.

HOWEVER. Under the Dome is one of my top five novels by him. Even at over a thousand pages, I read it TWICE. I'm an avid reader and I rarely read any book more than once. But, I HATE the t.v adaptation of it. It's so utterly horrible in so many ways I won't even take the time to get into it. They changed so much that the only thing even remotely similar between the book and the show is the name. The worst part is that King supported it. I have such major disappointment regarding this that I don't think I can handle watching another GOOD story of his be massacred for the screen.

Lurker, if you think the concept sounds intriguing, please, just read the story. Then, go from there and decide if you want to give the t.v version a try.

I will most certainly give it a read and take that into consideration. I haven't watched Under the Dome (I honestly have no clue what it's about either), but I'll give it a read as well! I understand why shows go astray from the source material from time-to-time, but it should never get to the point that it's unrecognizable. I'd rather just read a great book or story than to watch a mutilated adaption of it.

Wow! The premiere of Red Band Society was amazing! Best pilot episode I've ever seen. I cried at least 3 times. It definitely makes you realize how valuable yet hard life is, but it can be rewarding as well. Love the message the show brings. The acting is really good too for it to consist of primarily young actors. Must see! Comes on every Wednesday night at 9 on Fox.

****! I wanted to watch it! School makes watching anything on Wednesday nights impossible, I'll have to remember to DVR it.

Red Band Society <3 loved it so much!!! hate that they are putting it in the exact same time-slot as Modern Family... like how DARE they!? haha all well not like i can watch em on tv anyways.... 7-10 class on wednesday nights!! woo Biggrin

Red Band Society was amazing, I loved that, even though the show is about sick kids, the tone of the show is not depressing, it's actually lots of fun. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled. 

My little sister is so excited for this, which is surprising since she isn't big into anything scandalous and doesn't watch much scripted TV as is. She just asked me to watch the trailer and I'm not sold on it yet, but I'll give it a chance, especially with the creators of Scandal onboard (I personally haven't watched Scandal, but I've heard great things).

Stephen King Miniseries '11/22/63' Picked Up by Hulu

OPD, have you read this one? If so, any good? Since it's slated as a miniseries, they shouldn't do too much damage to the source material.

Apparently somebody didn't think my Sandal joke was very funny...
