Probably Won't Last

Lentini where on earth do you get the part about america not liking friends, etc, and bush? Bush? where on earth did that come from. Don't even TRY to lump together TV shows and a political figure. Comparing a TV show that you may not like is not the same as a president who has let the most powerful country down. So don't even get me started on that.

Granted some of the situations presented in this TV show are rehashed ideas, while you were creating your list of reasons to hate the show you obviously missed the whole scene between natalie and her jock boyfriend. Asking him why they are together, and his reply, that because they are both hot and both jocks. Atleast The Days has some other view point on the typical high school experience, mocking the preppies, or "jocks", showing how shallow people really are.

In response to lemurian's post; sure the hollywood blockbuster machine produces a lot of garbage for the teen demographic scene, but it does the same for upper demographics as well. While I agree hollywood produces a lot of garbage, don't deny the power the teen scene has. Companies are now realizing how much money the teen group has, and they are tapping into that now. You missed the point of Cooper, that some goth, weird kid is actually the most normal, intelligent kid of the group who actually keeps the family together. His dad uses him to vent, he watches over his younger brother, and he protects his sisters reputation, not to mention becomes a friend to her. While the older sister was the popular one, her reputation is in the tank and she only now begins to realize the error of her ways and her oblivious actions to who she hung out with and how fake they really are. True the youngest boy is very smart, but have you met any very smart people? Plunty of them turn out to be very strange. A kid I knew who was extremely smart through elementary and middle school ended up in a mental institute. Although another extreme case, but you ever see the movie A beautiful mind? Extremely intelligent person, but way out there.

Your complaint of non-caucasion influence is not justified. The love interests of two of the characters is not caucasion, and furthermore, this show is ABOUT a caucasion family. If you haven't noticed, this country is still very caucasion, and if you have a problem with that, you can go watch your Method and Red or whatever that garbage is called on Fox. I'm sick of policital correctness this country has turned to worrying about. It's out of control. The reason why this show is spinning so fast and furious is due to its only 6 episode run, not to mention its very hard for a show to last any mount of time, so they cram as much stuff into a show to try to pick up any viewers possible. So either enjoy the show or click the channel!
