Is anyone going to watch when it starts up this month? It's supposed to be an adult version of MTV's Laguna Beach. Personally, I'm tired of these reality shows about whiny rich people and their woe-is-me problems. It will probably do good because nothing is really on TV right now.

I think the first episode aired last night, but I am not sure.

I have never seen LAGUNA(simply because it's a reality show on MTV that everyone watches), but does LAGUNA look as scripted as BOOK CLUB? I don't think I've ever seen something look so unreal.

I saw previews for this show and it looks like a cheaply made DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES clone. What neighborhood in their right mind would let a camera crew tape their bubble baths, their sexual encounters, etc? It just looks so FAKE.

I'm just waiting for TV to launch a reality series called WHO WANTS MY VIRGINITY?

I must see the promos 10 times a day while I'm watching soaps and it looks so bad!

It's an obvious rip-off on DH, w/ the mechanical bull and then the young "pool guy". And, of course, they have one woman who's the trophy wife, a divorced mother, a party girl (who's blonde nonetheless), and one who's the frazzled mom (total DH rip-off).

The promo said it was "real woman", so I don't know if that's a reality show. Some parts looked scripted, but some parts didn't. So I don't know what's up w/ it!

My hubby and I watched it. It's obvious that it's not a real "reality show." But I enjoyed it. For some reason I found it compelling. My hubby is a big fan of "DH" and sat and watched too. For a summer show it was worth the time.

    • Actually Kim Zimmer got six weeks off to test the waters for pilot season in L.A. - she said later she went on many auditions and got one offer for a sitcom, but she would one of many in an ensemble. She turned it down, because it wasn't worth leaving Guiding Light for a supporting role on a sitcom. 
    • I'm not even sure why Zoe would care, even if they know each other offcamera.  I can't see Jean going, but if she is - good riddance at this point.
    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
