As someone who grew up near Disney Land, I've always had a weird fascination and love/hate relationship with theme parks, so of course I liked Adventureland and I just had to tune into Happyland, too.
Not sure what to think about the incest plot line - feels like a cry for attention/controversy, but I hope that doesn't develop as a main plot line because there's so many more interesting things to explore within the crazy world of a theme park - and I've had tons of friends who worked at Disney who can attest to that. I did really like that they used "So Close I Almost Believed It" by Beginners during the controversial kiss scene though, maybe this will finally be an MTV show that uses music as well as their shows in the 90s did.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
how many of you threw up
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice pilot, not perfect, but not bad either. I'll watch more episodes.
ReplyDeleteThe big twist at the end... I did not see it coming. I don't have a problem with it, it was just really unexpected from a comedy.
Not me.
ReplyDeleteIt was great, but MTV didn't promote it well, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteWeird Show, and shame on me for watching a short promo that gave away everything before watching the episode. I'll still watch though.

Me neither. I kinda liked it.
ReplyDeleteI kinda love this show!
ReplyDeleteSoooo much angst!
Great tv.
I am now obsessed with this show! It reminds me of of a Shakespeare or Noel Coward play for some reason. It is really well done.
