I got an interesting text from my
sister last night: "Are you watching Bunheads yet?"
I was immediately intrigued. I mean,
the previews I'd seen for the new ABC Family show looked terrible, like a
Gilmore Girls with lots of pink tights and top knots (it even has the Gilmore
Grandma and Loralei/Rory look-alikes). This is no Center Stage or Dirty
Dancing, people. There will be no dancing what you're feeling. Baby
has been put in the corner. This is obviously ABC Family's attempt to
attract a very specific audience member (much like Greek and
That-One-About-the-Gymnasts). But of my sister was watching Bunheads,
maybe it had a chance.
"We turned it into a drinking
game ... And it's only episode 2."
Oh.
Well.
AWESOME.
The only thing better than a cable
TV hit is a cable TV trainwreck. The rules of the Buns Up Drinking Recital are
simple, according to Seester:
As the season progresses, I am also
calling shots for inspiring rally-the-point-shoe-troops speeches and any
episode that follows a "I hate you a little but then you did
something nice and now I secretly like you" storyline.
Based on the 10 minutes I watched last night, I can tell you on good faith
that they are bound to happen.
And then there's THIS:
This is a legitimate plot
point. I am kind of waiting for a so excited-so excited-so scared Jesse
Spano to pop out somewhere. In which case we'll all just finish our
drinks, mmkay?
Get your cocktails ready and gird
your livers. It'll be like an interpretive dance ... but with booze.
I recommend a Shock Top Lemon Shandy, by the way. It's delightful.
Bunheads is on ABC Family at 8PM CST on Mondays. Will you be
dance-drinking with us?
This is how we watch Make It or Break It.
ReplyDeleteDrink if they make it...drink twice whent hey break it!! There is, of course, points for the bitchy character.
Gotta love The-One-About-the-Gymnasts!
DeleteLOL I watched one episode and thought it was terrible. I am a former dancer, so it usually only takes a pair of point shoes in a plot to get me interested, but that's not the case with Bunheads. I actually just read an article blasting the show for it's lack of...ethnicity in it's casting. The only thing that WOULD get me to watch it again is tequila, so thanks for the suggestion ;)
ReplyDeletewell count me in on the drinking..that is gonna be the only good thing about watching this show...it sucks...excuse my language...I watched it and kept waiting for a plot or something of substance and notta nothing no no no ...so glasses will be risen with you and your sister...in advance thanks for the possible hangover and maybe even a day to call in sick..lol...Beth
ReplyDeleteI mean. You know I'm watching it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Cameron. Don't forget Cameron!
I just came back to say I watched the first two episodes last night and I'm hooked. I'm a sucker for terrible TV and this fits right in. I would mention Cameron but sadly he's passed. :(
