Joan of Arcadia
Jan. 9th, 2004 10:51 pmMan, I love me this show. It's rapidly moving up the ranks on my favourites list, settling in behind Angel and The O.C., and actually ahead of Smallville, I think. Every week, it makes me feel, and that's really good.
( tonight's show )
What is it with teen dramas shows having parents/adults acting in reasonable, responsible, caring ways this year? The O.C., Everwood, and Joan of Arcadia all have focus on teenagers, but good storylines for the adults. I don't remember 90210 being like that, and Buffy certainly wasn't (except for Giles, but he wasn't a parent). Best parent on TV is probably a toss-up between Sandy Cohen (The O.C.), Harold Abbott (Everwood), and Helen Girardi (Joan of Arcadia). It amazes me to find one teen show with a well-written adult, but to find three? I wonder what's going on in Hollywood.
