Yah, it's kinda cool: it works

'15/Love' is a mix of 'Degrassi Junior High', an MTV music video and a tamed-for-television version of those modern movie classics 'Fast Times at Ridgemount High' and 'Animal House'. Like the kids at Degrassi students at 15/Love's Cascadia face common teen and preteen problems: first love, competition, vanity, peer pettiness, and, of course, those intrusive, overbearing, rule-making adults. Many of the program's 'filmic' techniques--off-angle camera shots, zooms and pans, funky scene transitions, etc.--share the speedy cadence and rock-and-roll feel of MTV videos. Now, this character 'Squib' is neither a Sean Penn 'Spicoli' nor a (may he forever smirk in peace!) John Belushi 'Bluto Blutarskyto', yet he certainly does share their absolute irreverence for authority, their ravenous appetite for shenanigans, and their uncanny ability to succeed in spite of, or in most cases, because of themselves ... and yes there is a food fight. I liked the show enough to register at the 15love.tv site and found games to play, stuff to win and thriving online viewer community. Wow, this show IS popular. Yah, it's kinda cool: it works and I'll keep watching. OUT.
