Often, a new show either has a lackluster pilot followed by an absolutely brilliant series, or else they have a promising pilot followed by a disappointing series. It's often difficult to tell the future of a brand-new series. As for GROSSE POINTE, however, the second episode was every bit as smart as the first.
So the WB network brings us a show that pokes fun at teen primetime soap melodramas...the very shows for which WB is known. It's about time that this genre was spoofed. But this show goes beyond satire: the behind-the-scenes situations are just as wickedly funny as are the fictional "Grosse Pointe" scenes. There is already a behind-the-scenes love triangle, but thankfully there is absolutely no mush. I have the feeling that I'll be watching this show for a long time.
