Actually this show is really too good for MTV (About the best thing that can be said about it). It does have dumb moments but it has really good stretches of episodes that keep you hooked. It suffers some from cast members leaving to other shows. Colton leaving out of the blue for example screwed up a lot of storyline that had to be massaged or just plain dropped. It follows a lot of Buffy tropes. Plus at times it does some obvious pandering to certain segments of it's fan base.
I don't know what you're talking about... this lineup is amazing http://www.mtv.com/ontv/schedule/ Has Music Television written all over it.
