"Once you park your pink Pontiac - all your lame angst junk, it's just gone, like your whole life changes."
I can remember a time when I would have given a limb to see this pilot. Now it's on YouTube for anyone to watch! It's easy to criticize the show for merely being a hetero-normative take on Araki's own "Nowhere," but as a fan I still loved it. I'm convinced the only reason it never aired is that's still too racy, even for MTV (I can't recall ever hearing someone on cable get called a "rimjob"). The actors are attractive and well-cast, and the pangs of teen angst ring true despite the characters' upper class lifestyle. Loved the "Twin Peaks" reference too.
