Life As We Know It

Fri Oct 08, 2004 2:08 am

I watched the first episode tonight on ABC. I really like it. It's so... raw and real. It's about what life is actually like for a lot of high schoolers, and it's refreshing to see a show that's so honest.
I really loved the little pausing moments when the guys would talk directly to the camera. It's weird seeing Kelly Osbourne acting though. I really hope this show doesn't get cancelled. I really like it. It seems like ABC has all the new good shows this season, Lost, Desperate Housewives, and Life As We Know It.

This show was shot at my school. Made classes really chaotic. I'll check it out later tonight when it plays.

Oh, I watched it to! Awesome show and I, also, hope it doesn't get booted off the air. I feel like I can relate to the characters and the situations going on between them. That show is, for sure, life--as I know it.

I figured that's what it was. I remembered reading that in your LJ, and the whole time I was watching it, I was like "Yoshi's school!"

What I find funny is that such a realistic show, is my answer to avoiding The Apprentice, which is a reality show. XD

I watched it.. although I wasn't planning on it (but I really didn't want to watch CSI atm).
Eh... it was alright.
I also liked the pause moments when the guys talked to the camera.. but what kinda threw me off though is all of the drama just in the first episode.
I mean COME ON... they could've saved some of it for later on instead of just throwing it all in at once.
And I REALLY didn't like it how the show was showing the little relationship thing that was happening between the teenage boy and the teacher.
Like I was supposed to watch it all and be like "Awwww.. I hope they get together!! <3 " :roll:

Anywho....personally... I think it's going to need a new time slot for it to survive. It's on during CSI and well.. ALOT of people watch that show.

They should put it on Weds... after Lost... just so they can get rid of The Bachelor already.

I just saw a little bit of it- turns out that my school wasn't the only one they used. They only used our hallways and a few of the classroom scenes were from our school. Some other scenes, like the beginning stairwell one, was most likely from some other school.

I saw the stairwell leading up to my locker, though. :P And a few of my classrooms, haha. I think my sister's grad photo made it in as well (those top picture frame things in the hallways), but it's far too small to see.

Anyways, this show just seemed...a little too much. May just be because of my beliefs and preferences, though. I've never been a fan of shows like these, only watched this one to see what they were doing for the past half a year. Not quite sure I'll keep watching.

I love that show. Guys really do think like that. I can't get over how real it is ecpecially since stuff that happened in the second episode happened to me in real life like 3 days later.

Although I still don't like the whole thing with the teacher... it is a pretty decent show.
I really don't like that one character though. Think her name is Jackie?
But anywho.. like I said.. it's decent. I'd rather watch it than CSI atm (not that csi is bad or anything and erm... yeah...)

The show is raw and real, but not realistic. Is that what people think teens think about all the time? Maybe some but not the majority.
