... is this totally irritating show on WB that I turn on sometimes because it is filmed where I live and I occasionaly see people I know. Okay, my main problem with the show is how it constanlty steals things from other shows and movies and makes it seem like part of our general culture.
Examples off the top of my head:
the two women talk about this thing they do where they answer questions off the top of their heads to make decsions they don't know how to (Friends)
At a party they had a "keymaster" (Say Anything)
I know that shows and movies always rehash or reinvent storylines from their predecessors, (even MSCL borrows things from Wonderful Life and Wonder Years) but it just seems particularly irritating in this case. I think because they take things from TV and Movies and act like they are taking it from real life.
Has anybody ever gone to a party with an actual key master? Or seen it referred to outside of Cameron Crowe's movie? (Maybe I'm just being Cranky)
