For some reason the previews for the new WB show, Bedford Diaries, intrigued me (I'll admit it - the Augustana theme song was the hook - got nothing but love for you Dana!) so I decided to tune in last night. All I have to say is that it is a terrible, terrible, terrible version of Felicity. The characters are beyond annoying and the plot lines are moving at warp speeed - there is a student/teacher affair, suicidal student, overtly sexual virgin, struggle between the school paper and the student government, break-up, and alcoholic all covered in the first episode. Hello, quality not quantity you silly WB execs! I do not plan on tuning in again and I could go into a much more in-depth rant but I have a feeling I was the only person who watched the show. I will, however, list the reasons that Felicity was an excellent show:
1. Ben - hot, atheletic, angst ridden - done and done!
2. One of the first shows to tell you what music was heard during the episode.
3. Helped me bond with my sorority sisters - we used to watch in my room in the house every week and get teary eyed - obvs this was before I turned punk as fuck and de-activated.
4. Javier - what a wonderful, caring boss and friend.
5. Meghan - the nightmarish roommate who turned out to be a Wasp - go figure
6. The hair controversy - when Felicity cut her hair ratings dropped like the network had never seen - talk about pop culture power.
7. Pretty good depiction of college minus the fact that almost every week something absurdly traumatic happened.
On another note Rachel "ain't too proud to beg" Shapiro needs a ticket to Editors tonight cause those people at Epic (not you Lisa :) took away Dana's plus one.

Mere, you are punk as fuck! You did things with spray butter those other sorority bitches could never dream of!!
Seriously, anyone got a ticket for me for Editors? Must I bring up the sob story about how I got shut out of my own party at SXSW cause of fire marshall issues, causing me to miss these awesome Brits?? Oh, ok, I just brought it up. But you forced me to do it! Come on people, I need to fist pump!
