after all of the near scathing reviews of this show i can't wait to watch! haha it sounds highly entertaining...
Chicago Tribune: "'The Hills' finds Lauren sunning poolside at her 'Melrose Place'-style apartment complex, enrolled in fashion school and licking envelopes at Teen Vogue, where one editor warns that 'you need to have a lot of experience in writing and fashion and publicity if you want to be an intern [here],' and then promptly offers Lauren the job. Apparently experience doesn't matter when there's a camera following your every move, especially when that camera has a direct line to Teen Vogue's target demographic." ...

"[MTV is] now a network where Lauren's roommate can say, 'I want to be the fun, party PR girl in L.A.,' with a straight face, because she knows that with the celeb-status bestowed upon MTV reality stars, she's on her way. Never mind that skeptical college adviser. Never mind college, really." ...
"Compared with the superhit 'Sweet 16,' 'The Hills' is more refined in its celebration of materialism, though no less celebratory. It provides all the pleasures of escapist TV -- money, celebrity, romance, bikinis -- but steers clear of the crass entitlement so central to that other show. Lauren is never going to say, 'I'm a princess,' or 'everybody wants to be me.' She'll just think it."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (random I know): "Lauren has appeal, but she's, well, dumb. She has ambition but no drive. She wants to be responsible but rarely does the responsible thing."
