After months of hype (and mysterious delays), HIDDEN PALMS the CW’s latest guilty premieres tonight at 8PM. While the reviews have been less than glowing — USA Today for one gives PALMS 1/2 out of 4 stars explaining that “listening to some 16-year-old kid lecture his parents on the demands of 12-step rehabilitation is enough to make anyone reach for the mute button” — this TV Addict doesn’t care.
Truth be told, a mere week removed from May Sweeps, the TV Addict is already experiencing mild symptoms of E.R.W. (also known as Endless Repeat Withdrawl) and is jonsin’ for a hit of ‘new’ TV that doesn’t contain the words ‘reality’ in it. As a result, we’ll most definitely be tuning in to watch yet another set of good-looking privileged teenagers deal with real life ‘problems.’
Will you be giving this OC knock-off a chance or have you decided to give your remote control some much needed time off? Post away with your plans.
