October Road

For the first time this morning, we saw a trailer for a new series that’s going to be aired on Star World – October Road.  Its cast includes Hannah Daniels, the level-headed girl we loved in The 70s Show as Donna. She’s not a red head here though 🙁

Any show that features “hometowns” and homecoming really interest me because I grew up in a wonderful community too. I got so interested on this one that I went online to check it out. Apparently, this show ran on ABC for a year, with the last episode shown in March 2008. The reviews are positive so I’m really looking forward to watching them.

Here’s another show I also saw for the first time on Star World – Dirty Sexy Money. Like October Road, it was also first aired in 2007 and ran through the next year, with around 20 episodes. Though not part of the original cast, Lucy Liu was also part of the production.

When I was a little girl, I loved watching Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There was no other show that sparked the dreamer in me. I used to imagine marrying rich because I knew then that that was the only way I’d get to experience those luscious accomodations and lavish lifestyle. Haha. 

This is one show that would probably reinforce the idea that having money isn’t all that it’s painted out to be. That one can’t have it all. That money can buy anything, but won’t probably give you all the happiness in the world. But isn’t that a cliche already? Isn’t that what everyone thinks anyway? Aren’t there rich and famous families who truly are happy, and who truly live a fairytale life, and have no illegal sources of their wealth?

Hahaha, am I asking for too much here?

If you’ve seen this shows, what do you think about them? Who is your favorite character? I’d love to know.
