The Bedford Diaries makes sex boring

Bedford DiariesWe don't cover The Bedford Diaries that much here at TV Squad. I guess it just doesn't look that interesting to anyone. And Tee Vee agrees with us. But I'm glad that Nathan Alderman wrote this review of the show. Not only does he point out that the WB show makes sex seem boring, he also mentions Paul Haggis and two of my all-time favorite TV shows, Due South and EZ Streets (it makes sense in the context of the article). Here's what he says about The Bedford Diaries, in a nutshell:

"The whole thing feels like it's been focus grouped to death. Hmm ... what would the WB want? A show about attractive college students? Having lots of sex? And talking about their sex lives? And making videotapes of themselves talking about their sex lives? Sounds like a surefire sell!

Except it's not. It's downright boring ..."

I watched the opening scenes of the pilot episode on the web and I wasn't too impressed either.

To be honest, given the current climate at the FCC and the numerous watchdogs out there who are chomping at the bit waiting for something "obscene" I am surprised this show was even given the green light.

Thanks for pointing this out. That block quote exactly captures my thoughts on the ten minutes of the show I watched this week. It was my second time trying to get into this show and I just couldn't.
