i don’t know about american....but it is a dream.

every sunday night at 8pm, my family and i used to sit down and watch american dreams together. for those of you that have seen it - you know that it is literally the best show on the planet. and then it got cancelled. my sister (who now lives in d.c.) recently purchased the first season at target for $20! what a steal!

brittany snow plays meg, a teenager who dances on american bandstand and while the premise seems pretty superficial...it’s fantastic (and vanessa lengies from pmk is meg's best friend roxanne!)

the music is awesome (for all those who love music from the early 60s and motown) and i’m just at the episodes where luke (the cute record store employee...who doesn’t love one of those?!) introduces meg to bob dylan [who, as everyone knows, is the shit].

the girls all wear cute plaid high-waisted skirts and cardigans. it’s all so preppy but i can’t get enough of it!

i honestly can’t get over the incredible attraction i have to this show (or to luke...or meg’s hot brother jj).

jj is played by will estes

luke foley is played by jamie elman

(yeah, that's the guy from student bodies!)

it consumes my thoughts all day at work and i’ve never had so many upbeat british invasion songs stuck in my head (the kinks, anyone?)

to summarize: fantastic = all things american dreams.
