I agree with the commenter below that said this show is Awful but I cant stop watching it. I already mentioned the atrocious soundtrack. But the fact that everyone memories these long passages from books just, randomly, is so annoying. As is the Dialogue. Sometimes when they are talking I just feel like I am back watching the 15 year olds in Capeside with vocabularies the Princeton Review would kill for exchanging monologues about how important and defining every moment of their life is. Only... these guys manage to butcher it. Also, I am reminded of One Tree Hill in that everything in these charactors lives revolves around who they were in high school. I mean if the football captain wants to chubby chase 10 years later... in real life no one would give a flying fark. yet they are using this scenario as a story arch. Honestly, I am almost positive that the people who wrote Dawson's creek worked on this show. If it weren't for the awful writing and heinous soundtrack, this would be a great show. I want to stop watching it... but i cant. Television is such garbage now. I miss actual shows with actual stories. Wasn't the year this came on the beginning of the Reality TV takeover?

This show is terrible and I can't stop watching to my own detriment because I miss that type of scenery AND the content is so distant from anything remotely affecting or intelligent that it must qualify as a vapid/guilty pleasure that is lowering my I.Q. but making life a little, whew ,runONsentence, more bearable. I think it's interesting that the female lead's ( the blonde mother of the supposed son) bottom teeth are crooked, human. I like that but it's still odd considering she had a good job on that 70's show.
