Rename this blog




This is the old cast from Series One and Two

I should just rename this blog to "my love affair with the BBC America." Because those damn Brits have done it again. This past Saturday, I watched a full day of Skins marathon. I think some of the episodes were skipped because the show didn't really flow, so that leads me to think that the major episodes were included in the marathon, and the less important ones were left on the cutting room floor.

This show was crazy. If this is how kids in Britain really act, i wouldn't raise my kids there. These kids, if they aren't having sex or doing drugs, they are having sex while on drugs. In one episode, the bulimic girl, OCDly rearranges a kitchen at a house party. "They didn't organize properly." She then is out on the trampoline and asks the guy she is with, if he wants to shag her he needs to do it quickly because she took some pills. This of course, if followed by her passing out. So what do you do when a bulimic girl passes out from popping pills? Steal the car in the garage at the house party you are at and drive to the hospital. Once you get to the hospital, the girl wakes up so what do you do now. You dump the stolen car in a river. Did i forget to mention that they left a 3 pounds of weed in the stolen car, at the bottom to the Thames? Probably. And that was one episode. Saturday was a day full of episodes like this.


This is the cast from Series Three. Just by looking at this picture, I can tell it is going to be crazy.
Follow the link to see the preview for Series 3 (that's English for Season 3). You won't be disappointed. It makes our teen dramas look like Barney cartoons.

  1. Saw your comment on Televisionary, and followed you here. You must rent the Skins DVDs. It's amazing, and I can't wait to see how season three stacks up.
