the issues the show covers are relavent to highschool pressures and strangely addicting even tho it's sub-par to the original movie.

Finally the last bastion of socially condoned prejudice is being examined, and, I daresay even breached! Congratulations to the Disney Corporation for standing behind the producers who support the brave casting agents that have enough courage to endorse hiring an actress like (Jolene Purdy) to star in a television series and not simply as a 1 or 2 show guest. Congratulations to Jolene for living life as an authentic person and still going after a goal of acting and achieving such a hard fought battle against prejudice! I cannot express my pure radiant happiness at seeing the glass ceiling of having an actress of size shattered by "starring" in a primetime television series! I applaud all of the crew, cast, and business people that support this particular program and exceptional "thinking outside of the proverbial box." My strongest prayer (and I do mean PRAYER is that this "embracing" the unique diversity of size will spread to the "adult" shows so that more actors and actresses of size can be viewed as superior at their craft and even as desired role models with a popular fan-base that truly reflects the
"entire" world! Bravo world on beginning to expand the collective conscious and beginning to embrace unity through diversity.

It sure does not live up to the movie at all, but if you don't think about the movie its not that bad. Don't compare the two. They should have just named this show something different. But all in all its getting better and I think it has its moments.
Cheers

Its getting better, funnier, sexier, the way a show about high school should be. I cant wait to start the 11th grade now!
