Why do teenage shows have nothing to do with teenagers?
"I like shows like [90210 and Gossip Girl] too," senior Sita Kumar said. "But ["Grey’s Anatomy", "Lost", and "Friends"] are on the top of my list just because you can’t really imagine going through it yourself so you watch other characters go through it…and it is way more intense than anything that would actually happen to anyone."
Shows with themes that a students can identify with seems appealing on script but redundant in execution.
So future television producers, keep note. Sure teenagers love watching Serena and Dan’s petty drama, but would probably choose to TiVo Michael and Jim battle for a Dunder Mifflin manager position or McDreamy and Dr. Richard Webber battle for Seattle Grace Chief of Surgery instead. Nobody wants to watch what they see everyday.
