I dunno about all THAT, but I didn't think the show was too bad. The
characters were certainly consitant... consistantly stupid. I dunno...
maybe girls can't help falling for asshole guys who are stupid and treat
them badly (but good-looking!) but I'm soooOooOooOo sick of seeing it in
real life and on TV. I wish Angela (main character) could have been
different. Oh well, I guess that's realism.
