What’s YOUR Story?

21 08 2009

At various points I’ve explained my teen drama background/origins.

Here are the cliffnotes: started watching Beverly Hills 90210 at the way-too-young age of 9, which led me to the teen dramas that followed suit, and I haven’t been able to kick the habit since.

But what about you?

What’s your story?

When did you start watching teen dramas?

There can never be too much teen drama in our lives.  So if you’re looking for more, let me present to you my latest discovery: Barton Heights.

Barton Heights is a teen drama parody series made for the web by one very talented guy named Anthony Laatsch.  He casts, writes and directs everything all on his own, taking ideas from our favorite shows like One Tree Hill and The O.C.  His mini episodes include all the cliches and criticisms of teen dramas–on purpose.

While the camerawork is a little shaky and the acting amateur, the creativeness and effort to make this standout are all there.

See for yourself!

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and Dawson’s Creek

17 01 2009
  • Do any of you watch Skins?  The Washington Post says it makes Gossip Girl and 90210 “look like ‘Little House on the Prairie.'”
  • What do the 90210 stars, new and old, think about football and the Superbowl?  You can find out here.
  • Ouch!  A new article calls 90210 “spineless” and Gossip Girl “shallow.”  The article names Friday Night Lights the “teen drama MVP.”  If that’s right, apparently I should be covering it…
  • Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) has managed to keep a low-profile since the series began.  He opens up a teensy bit in this new article.
  • It’s not 90210 and sure ain’t General Hospital.  Instead, Vanessa Marcil (Gina, Beverly Hills 90210) is headed to Without a Trace.
  • The Boston Globe has a great article about Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek), her new movie Wendy and Lucy, and life after Heath.  You can read it here.
