And I really would like if the writers here actually understand their craft. I know I don’t most of the times, but I continue to learn. This episode taught me that not even soap writers are out for the payoff in any way. I mean, a pilot is written to not just introduce the characters, but also set up the first bunch of stories, right? Well, this pilot introduced the characters (we saw them, we heard them talking about stuff) and a few storylines were set up, but there was one payoff missing. Loren (Brittany Underwood) is obviously supposed to be the main character of the show, rising to fame and glory out of nothingness, so her story needs to be set up the most. Was it? Absolutely not. How did the episode end? With the man of her dreams touching Loren’s hand – that’s not a payoff, that’s just flirting. And within the story of the show (at least what I expect from it) this “touching” didn’t even have meaning. Loren was affected, because she has a crush on Eddie (Cody Longo) – the first part of the story setup.

Which brings me to ask myself: Am I really out of the audience already? I know I’m not in the targeted audience by a long shot, but I always loved teen stuff going around in television, because most of the times there’s some excellent storytelling behind it (except in GOSSIP GIRL). Adolescence is still an interesting topic for writers (especially in the indie drama section), which is why I continue to watch those programs. And I never thought I would get much out of HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS – after all it’s the first drama offering Nick at Nite has to offer (again, I think) – but even after the first hour I’m just ready to walk away from it. Far far away.

But now I’m interested to know if HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS really is about family. The pilot sure didn’t look like it, because it was about having boyfriends and girlfriends and crushes on a superstar. Not much of a family, especially when all family members are stinking clichés. Beginning with the Lorelai-Gilmore-type of mother in Loren’s camp, and the exact opposite in Mel’s (Ashley Holliday) home. Going over to the bossy and overprotective rich father for Adriana (Haley King), followed by the “easiness” of Phil’s (Robert Adamson) father (not to forget that Phil and Mel are siblings). And finally the whole deal around Eddie and Chloe. He with the tragic past, she with the (hopefully) millions of ex-lovers she has in her closet. That’s the typical stuff for every soap opera you’re writing, and HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS beings it all in the pilot. Absolutely nothing is new and innovative, and I literally have seen anything in television before. The worst thing is though that the pilot didn’t connect anything. Besides the missing payoff at the end, characters and families weren’t connected, stories weren’t developed, conflict wasn’t prepared. But all of this is still predictable – you will know which stories will be coming, which character is going to have which kind of trouble, and what will lie in store for both Loren and Eddie and the main fixation of the show. When the pilot doesn’t even tell me all of this, because the script is not preparing any of it, and I can STILL smell the upcoming events, then the writing is just … I’m continuing to be nice here.

Did something even save the episode? Well, maybe Mel and Loren’s face, when they wanted to climb up the fire escape, and Eddie was coming around with his manager and the ten or twenty fans (representing all the millions Eddie has in his camp). That was a hilarious moment, as well as “I give good text”, which had the sexual undertone the scene surely needed. But the rest was just under my niveau. I would be committing suicide, when I continue watching HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS, but I watched three and a half seasons of GOSSIP GIRL, so I might survive two episodes of HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS. And who knows, maybe something comes out of the second episode? Also, I’m still looking for a soap to watch, and HOLLYWOOD HEIGHTS might be it, no matter how campy it is at the end. 3/10
