American High is outstanding
... if you're into that kinda stuff, you know: TV. Finally, a reality-based show with just the right mix of human drama, compelling narrative, and clever editing that reels the viewer in like a big fat fish. It's realer than Real World, it will outlast Survivor, and it outsizes Big Brother in the most important facet: the characters are natural, genuine, and truly interesting, yes, really interesting.In one segment, a mother tells her talented, guitar-playing daughter, who's a junior and just a so-so student at the High, 'You shouldn't go to college ...' What?! Worth the price of admission, whatever that may be. This show's here for only six more weeks, so it will be gone fast. Almost makes BoyCaught want to go out and buy a Replay TV. This time Rupert's people done good. (Posted by BoyCaught)
