1. The rich blond-haired girl looks to be in her mid-20s.
No wonder she has no trouble scoring underage drinks.
2. The rich asshole boy attempted to date rape not one, but TWO girls in the first episode.
This is a plot line that I hope will be repeated often.
3. The sweet rich boy, the one we're supposed to be sympathetic to? Slept with his girlfriend's BFF last year.
So not all that sweet really.
4. The outcast poor boy who's in love with the rich blond girl (but she doesn't know he's alive) scores a date with her in the very first show.
It took Seth WEEKS to get Summer Roberts to notice him.
5. The poor freshman ingenue is so, so good that her character is completely unbelievable, what with: addressing hundreds of invites to the "Kiss On The Lips" party just to get one herself, making her own party dress since her dad can't afford designer duds, almost being date raped by the asshole rich boy at the party and hooking her outcast brother up with the rich girl of his dreams ALL IN ONE SHOW.
I'll give her this, though: the dress turned out a whole lot better than Andie Walsh's pink disaster.
6. The conversation between the two rich boys over a joint in Central Park about "Are we destined to become our parents?" was highly unoriginal.
And possibly stolen from The Breakfast Club.

I was thoroughly disappointed. I must be getting old, but the show seemed way too immoral to me on the highest level. They smoke pot, drink, have sex, try to rape girls and never once do you hear anyone say that 17 year olds (I can only assume) shouldn't be doing that...this show replaced Veronica Mars...I hope it bombs. It's very unoriginal and cliche.
I didn't watch it. I have read all the books in the series, and while I find them entertaining, as a teenage New Yorker, I know that they're certainly not realistic. On any level. I think my (slightly embarrassing) love of the books will be diminished if I watch the show.
