Well, I grew up reading Francine Pascal's book series of the twins Liz and Jess Wakefield in Sweet Valley so it grew naturally that I became a huge fan of the books and later discovered this TV show, making it a favorite TV show of mine. I couldn't miss a single episode of this TV show, which I followed through four years and have surely watched more than three reruns of this TV show.
And it was a long time ago, when I hadn't yet become a teenager. And really, this TV show is not to be taken seriously - all stuff in this TV show is all simply too "Hollywoodish" or too "beautiful and perfect", so to say. Well, this milks stereotypes - the twins are blonde, busty, one of them are beautiful cheerleader, a friend is a studious brunette, another is fiery redhead, etc. And worst of all, bad acting. Get the picture? Yes.
But it is yet all part of the fun, and I think no one takes the series to heart and starts to question the reality of it all because it is just another Hollywoodish TV show... And did you know, all TV shows from Hollywood are more or less un-realistic.
Well, the best you can do is skipping the seriously part and enjoy it as it is... why wouldn't we when there are similar stereotypes of this kind of show in other shows both formerly and recently - 7th heaven, The OC, Summerland, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place - all of them always have some beautiful blondin or brunette and similar unrealistic events that could just happen in either the movie or TV worlds. But hey, just enjoy it... when you won't experience it in real life.
