I thought the theme was "Everybody hurts" by REM. That's what got played on the trailers.

I *loved* this show and I wish Channel 4 would repeat it cos I can't remember too much about it, only that it wees all over the likes of Dawson's Crack.

It's being repeated on the Trouble Channel. I loved it too - particularly Brian Krakow.

The fatal flaw in Dawson's Creek is that dawson himself is so tedious that it makes no sense for the other characters to hang out with a loser like him, not while they've obviously got more going for themselves.

Brilliant.
And I loved the colour she dyed her hair...

Pretty realistic for a 'youth' show. Found it refreshing to see a programme that acknowledges that some teenagers are messed up in the head, and not all smug preppy types who drive their daddys car.

"My mother's a behavioral psychologist, and my father's a freudian psychologist. That means they disagree on, like, everything." - or something like that.

And no, the theme was a very nice... er.... how do I describe it? i can't, so i won't.

"Stab me. Somebody, please."

or

"Hatred can become like food. It gives you this energy. You can, like, live
off it."

or maybe
"Hatred can become like food. It gives you this energy. You can, like, live
off it."

"My dad thinks every person in the world is having me fun than him.
Which could be true."
-- Angela

"We'll always be able to spot you in a crowd."
-- Patty, on Angela's new hair color


"Lately, I can't even look at my mother without wanting to stab her
repeatedly."
-- Angela

"I'm starting to like Anne Frank."
"Is she a sophomore, too?"
"No, she's dead."
"Oh."
-- Angela and Graham

"My dad and I used to be pretty tight. The sad truth is, my breasts have
come between us."
-- Angela

"It's just so hard to look at her. She looks like a stranger."
-- Patty, on Angela

"God, Chelsea Clinton. Will you look at this? No freedom, no privacy,
constant surveillance, Secret Service men... That's what we need."
-- Patty, to Graham

"You wanna have sex with him."
"Who?"
"Who. Jordan. Catalano. Come on, I'm not gonna tell anyone, just
admit it."
"I just like how he's always leaning. Against stuff. He leans great.
Well, either sex or a conversation. Ideally both."
-- Rayanne and Angela

"My parents keep asking how school was. It's like saying, 'How was that
drive-by shooting?' You don't care how it _was_, you're lucky to get
out alive."
-- Angela

"Listen to me... `I thought you _liked_ yearbook,' `Your room is a disaster.'
Did you think I ever dreamed that I would sound like this?"
-- Patty

"How could Anne Frank be lucky?"
"I don't know. 'Cause she was stuck in an attic for three years with
this guy she really liked?"
-- Ms. Mayhew and Angela



...I have a quote list.

"I think lard's my favorite food group."
-- Rayanne, on the cafeteria

"Wait, so what's fat-free?"
"When something's, like, free. Of fat."
"Well, what's the difference between fat-free, and like, nonfat?"
-- Bathroom girls in deep conversation

(last one)

"Oh, look at me, I'm way cool. I'm off with my way cool friends to sniff
floor wax."
-- Brian, to Angela

Rickie: "If you were about to do it, okay, what would you want the other
person to say, like, right before."
Rayanne: "`This won't take long.'"
Rickie: "No, seriously."
Rayanne: "`Do I know you?'"
Rickie: "No, like, for real. Like, romantic."
Angela: "`You're so beautiful, it hurts to look at you.'"
Rayanne: "`It hurts to look at you?'"
Rickie: "How'd you think of that?"
Rayanne: "Where would it hurt?"
-- Rickie, Rayanne, and Angela,

my last post got fucked up (how...ironic)
my last quote was supposed to be:

"Seems like some people have to die young. Like it fits them or something."

"What's the big deal? It's not like anybody even got a flesh wound. A bottle of soda was shot tragically."

I still don't really understand why ZBC axed it. there was talk of a new series, but I have a feeling that stayed as just that - talk.

I believe it had something to do with the timeslot it was given over in the States - it was marketed as a kind of Thirtysomething/Wonder Years nostalgia-for-grown-ups thing, but couldn't attract the right sort of advertising because it was viewed by advertisers as a kids show or something...and also the ratings were affected by the timeslot. Bloody capitalists.

Damn Claire Danes for growing up. she should have stayed that age until we could have another few series...serieses?

I thought she was still a nymphette though - one of those disturbing child-women. Give 'er a bit 'o' slap and whack some Vaseline on the lens...

What you do in your spare time is no business of mine, but I think that's illegal.

I did indeed also love that show..but since nostalgia threads are getting on my nerves i'll be off now..
