The E! True Hollywood Story:American Pie.
Learn the true(?) Hollywood story from the people who lived it in this E! TV special. My question is when are they finally going to do one of these for Buffy? Full House got one after all. It's on tonight and repeats at 11 pm and May 3rd at 8 pm.

Man, I hate this comment, which I see all the time. It is as if the writer has no idea what any of the actors were doing prior to AP. ALyson, of course, had a superb gig on Buffy, farmore meaningful in acting terms than anything she has done with the AP series, IMHO.
And I have to feel for the writers here. Not all has gone well for all these actors. Natasha Lyonne has been quite ill fighting her personal problems; Tara Reid became a bit of an embarrasment, to the point where even she recognized it. Mena Suvari went on to do good work; Sean William Scott gets tons of work but never in anything that is a serious role. Ah well, there is always Aly.

I watched one of these 'True Hollywood Tales' on Dawson's Creek once. It was actually reasonably interesting, if only for the fact it kept showing James Van Der Beek complaining about the quality of writing on the show when Kevin Williamson left for movies. "You've been Beek'ed" was apparently a phrase the staff writers had when he'd phone up and moan about the scripts.
Yes, people, I watched Dawson's Creek, and I have no shame in this fact.

As for the True Hollywood Stories...never heard of 'em before today. Is this the kind of programm where they try to dig for dirt or is it more respectable?
I hear you Dana. Then again, apart from the UK, Buffy never was a real mainstream hit anywhere and a lot of people know Aly as 'that band camp girl from AP' instead of Buffy.

Season 5 has been curious. The dialogue writing was actually really good, on the whole - some great comedy lines between the characters. That said, story wise it started to annoy me. Joey/Dawson. Whatever. Move on, one of you! Also, both Dawson and Jen go missing for half the season -- presumably to shoot movies -- and it becomes The Joey Potter Show. There's even an episode which features only Joey Potter, a mugger and Mercades Mcnab, of all people - the rest of the cast go missing. That said, I'm not regretting watching it - Pacey and Jen are amongst my favourite TV characters, and there's some great episodes mixed in. Dawson, however, does bore me to tears unfortunately. He's occasionally interesting, but mostly acts like he's 79 years old, which isn't interesting TV.
