NYC Prep
 

Blah. What a bunch of kids who are trying WAY too hard. Beyond that, they didn't even cast a particularly cute group of kids. Harsh I know, but they signed up for this crap.

How about this loser that claims he "hooks up" with 12-16 chicks a month?

Bravo is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel with this show. Really started to be more and more disappointed with this network.

This show is awful.

When I was in high school we'd go out to dinner, performances, art galleries, had credit cards, were involved in charities. They didn't invent this, and neither did my social group, many city kids function this way.

PC really annoys me, just, YUCK.

They are a bunch of brats with fake ids and neglective parents.

That one snobby dude who thinks he's so grown because he's a senior is the LAMEST EVER. He's obviously never hung with REAL adults. LOL.

I guess you won't be watching their new series "Miami Social" that premiers in July. :p

This show is just so off. Oh and the blonde girl's eyes are like way too small for her face. It started to annoy me.

i watched the preview show... so not interested in watching these kids play grown up.

wackness.

I had it on but didn't really pay attention. The Gossip Girl books are more entertaining.

Same. They were beyond annoying. How about the girl whose parents live in the Hamptons and she and her 19 year old brother are in the city? That's good parenting! :rolleyes:

LOL exactly...these are just the real life cast of gossip girl. They're all so conceited and stuck up. They think they've entered real life...oh just wait! They're no where near it!

I agree. I watched this show yesterday, and I was not impressed. They are definitely trying too hard, not very attractive... everything that has been said. You can tell they are acting for the camera, just not very well.

The backlash from it so far has been less than flattering.

I did laugh that PC showed up late for a premier because he was on Block Island. Um was your mansion in the Hamptons not available.

That should be fun to read.

I have only read this so far: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/23/ar...on/23prep.html
Yep.

My friends who are native Manhattanites can't stand this show, especially since there are a small number of people out there who apparently think the show's stars are representative of the area.

first, one of the girls on the show goes to my high school which is public and she isn't actually rich so i don't even know why she is on the show. anyone in nyc get into the school based on a test -- it's not likes its a public school full of only rich kids from one rich neighborhood.

secondly, i used to hang out with a nyc prep school crowd sometimes and its a lot like other schools in the sense that not everyone is exactly the same. yeah, there are a lot of new money types like these stupid kids that are trying too hard but there are also the academic types, hippies, partiers, druggies, the jocks, old money, nerds, dorks, etc. the difference with rich kids is they just have a tendency to be able to indulge their interests more b/c they can afford too - the academics get expensive tutors, the nerds by crazy gadgets, the partiers can go to fancy clubs and parties. and i could deal with these stupids kids not being representative if they were at least interesting but they arent.

they honestly remind me of a bunch of alex's from the real housewives of new york city -- if you're always feeling the need to talk to other people about your status, your status isn't that great.
