Have you people seen this show on TVLand called "High School Reunion"? If you haven't, then fire up the TiVo or, more appropriately, rev up the Betamax, and tape this sucker. The title tells it all. The show consists of people from some high school class of 1987. It's peppered with classic 1980's music from artists like Phil Collins and Ah-Ha and the character's all have Top Gun call signs which describe their H.S. personalities. Some examples: "The Pipsqueak", "The Jock", "The Rebel", "The popular girl", "The Drama Queen" and a recent addition "The Backstabber".
Every now and again a new member is introduced to the crowd. This past week we were introduced to "The Backstabber." He got his name because he screwed around with "The Drama Queen" while she was recently divorced from his best friend "The Rebel". It caused quite a dustup. "The Backstabber" busted on scene and damn near got his ass handed to him by "The Jock" and "The Bully". It was rough. "The Backstabber" got everyone's panties in such a bunch that "The Lesbian", "The Stud" and "The Popular Girl" all got naked in the pool. Then, the next day, both "The Backstabber" and his EX-best friend, "The Rebel" got sent to detention to work out their problems. But just when we were about to find out about their forced reconciliation...PSYCHE!!! Cliffhanger. The only thing I'm more worried about from day to day is whether Bo Brady's pancreas can hold on long enough for him to get the partial transplant from his daughter Chelsea. She put his life on hold by being a drunken whore...I'll never forgive her if Bo dies. What will Hope do? Who would befriend Steve the Pirate? And right after Sean died on that plane...sorry. I digress.
Did I mention that each day there is a "hall pass" handed out to one of the members so that they can ask one of the other people to go out on a date with him/her...which normally ends with the ol' humpty hump? "The Lesbian" is getting visibly agitated about the fact that there are no cast members of the same-sex persuasion with whom she can share the hotness.
It's like the bastard child of "Rock of Love" and the boxing reality shitstorm..."The Contender". Yeah, it's just as rad as it sounds. Maybe more so.
