You can see why I need to restrict myself to $5 cable.
When I was studying in Spain I shared an apartment with two American girls and three Spanish girls. Every day at lunch we watched Sabrina the Teenage Witch, dubbed into Spanish, and Nada es para siempre. The latter was a terrible teen drama about, well, terrible teenagers. There was lots of crying and there were creepy boys named Manu. When our semester ended, my roommate and I stayed in Cordoba for another two months and moved to a new apartment. We didn't have a television and so we totally lost track of what was going on with "Long Hair Boy" and "Blonde Girl." At some point a friend loaned us his TV and we watched an episode about a funeral. Apparently Long Hair Boy's whole family (mother, father, bratty Brenda Walsh type sister, little sister, and grandparents) all died in a place crash on their way to America. That's a big chunk of the cast right there. But I guess Blonde Girl and creepy Manu must have lived to keep things interesting. The show was definitely aiming for a 90210 type drama but it felt more like Saved by the Bell.
I tried to watch a couple episodes of Sabrina when I got home, but I could never get used to the actors' real voices. Plus, it really was funnier in Spanish. Or, at least, I think it was.
And, speaking of teen dramas, when does the new season of The O.C. start up again? I'm seriously looking forward to that. (No, seriously.)
