I really enjoyed this show!! Sara Paxton's character is great.. I can only guess what her secret is. Loved Chris/Raina together.

Mischa Barton..lol.. I never watched her on "The O.C." but her acting was pretty horrendous in the first episode. I do like Sonja's secret about the baby, I really thought she'd just end up being another air headed model with a drug problem.

I have high hopes for this show, I really enjoyed the pilot.

Watched the second episode right before Vampire Diaries. It was a great two hours of my life LOL

I love how full on these plots are already but the show still manages to be character driven. It keeps me very interested.

It was refreshing to see the Cole not have a romantic thing for Raina and I was surprised about the Sonia and Cole connection. The way the writers threw the viewers off about Cole in this episode was a nice twist.

Saw this coming sadly. I have yet to see the second episode, but the pilot was great. Oh well, opens up a time slot for me to record Modern Family/Cougar town. Doubt we'll ever see the unaired episodes on the CW.

And please don't mention Privileged! I was so bummed when that got canceled. :(

I actually thought this show was pretty good, had some potential. But combine that with the numbers on Wednesday (Glee, ABC's comedies, etc..), it really didn't stand a chance.

My problem with this show was that it just wasn't offering anything new. Most of the stuff they were doing has already been seen a thousand times before, especially on the CW. The poor casting choices(sans Paxton, the hot British chick with the five head, and the Cole dude) didn't help IMO. I wish Mike Kelley & Co had stuck to the original, and as much as I hate to use this word, edgier pilot script.

Oh, and I hope Dawn O has learned her lesson; that you can only have so many shows about pretty young people.

    • Sharon Case, Eileen Davidson, Amelia Heinle, Elizabeth Hendrickson, Melissa Ordway & Melody Thomas Scott so far seem to have re-shot their opening post-#YR50 cast photo and around the time of the gala filming. And I'm feeling as if it is possible both Lauralee Bell, Courtney Hope & Kate Linder's opening shots might have been a re-shoot, as well. I fully think if they had used the typeface from the 2003 opening it would improve it!

    • who is Ex Soap Opera Star?
    • Have the actors portaits in the style of the 70s/early 80s sketch, transform into the cast shots mimicking the 90s style.

    • Is there a subsection of time where quality (writing, production, acting, etc) slumped during what was otherwise a show's strong period. For example, The Wendy Riche era on GH (1993-2001) was especially strong. However there is a decline in quality after 1996 because of increased mob focus and the eventual departures of Brenda, Robin and Johnathan Jackson's Lucky. Some charachters like Tony, Bobby, and Felicia becan slipping into backburner status toward the end of the era.  Y&R was strong from about 1989-2001. There was however an inbetween period of 1994-97 where there felt like some drops in storytelling and production value. The camera work became more ornate after 1995 but the glamour factor especially in wardrobe was lost after 93. 
    • I will say the first 7 years are gold especially in terms of production value. Much like Y&R there was a slight quality slump between 1994-97. (In fact all CBS soaps minus Guiding Light maybe faced a alump after 93).  Much like Y&R, 1998-2002 was pretty good IMO.  I'd call it Bold's silver era. Brooke/Thorne/Macy, Brooke/Taylor/Ridge,  Brooke/Deacon/Bridget and Sheila's '02 return are some good storylines from that period. From what I've watched on YT, more trashy, cartoonish and camp than the earlier days of B&B but it's silver compared to today's show. I still need to get into the Rick/Amber/Kimberly/Deacon mess to guve it a solid judgement.
