Don’t get me wrong, I like good shows too. I have the complete Firefly, Buffy, Office (American and English), Black Books, Dead Like Me etc…
But I also own the complete OC. And at least three seasons of Smallville. And my current obsession is no less embarrassing. It’s Hellcats (move to the left, move to the right).

The show stars Aly Michalka as Marti, who is a total babe but seems to play the same character in everything she’s been in, and Sharpay from High School Musical (another guilty pressure) or as she’s also known, Ashlee Simpson.
Again, thanks wiki! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Tisdale
And then there is a bunch of young hottie and babealicious babes. And the totally underrated Gail O’Grady as Ally’s character’s mum.
To give you an example of how cheesy, awesome, lame, unnecessary this show is, let me describe the events of one early episode.
Young hottie Marti, a law student turned cheerleader (but solely for the scholarship, cause she’s not into wearing skimpy clothes and cheering, despite her constantly exposing her midriff even off duty) goes to some fundraiser at the bar her Mum is running, then gets into an amazing street dancing spontaneous event BUT two guys that she came with are getting in a fight with some a-holes at the bar- a fight which also just happens to take place in time to the street dance music.
Amazingly, the two hot guys with Marti get put in prison for this fight, so Marti gets her hot shot law lecturer to say some fancy law terms and they’re released with nothing on their record! CAUSE THAT IS TOTALLY HOW THE LAW WORKS!
Throw in some of Sharpay being a good-girl Christian with a bit of praying (now with midriff!) a whole lot of cheerleading, an unnecessary musical number featuring the cast and a heated argument between a cheerleader and their Mum and you basically have every episode ever covered.
It is truly excellent.
