Have to agree that I have little to say about the kerfuffle because like you, I have little patience with teen/high school shows. That's the reason why I haven't gotten into VM. I just have no desire to watch a bunch of teenagers do rather unrealistic things. I like my unreality to be in-your-face unreality with aliens, robots, witches and vampires.

And, I grew up in a small town. Pretty much the only "small town" show I've ever really liked is Northern Exposure.
