Pretty Little Liars sweeping CHS

Ashley Attanucci Web Manager “PLL, PLL! PLL’s on tonight!” If you follow the show, there’s no doubt that you know what those three innocent letters stand for. It calls for watching parties, not soley for the season premier and finale but for each episode for which Coppell High students flock together to see the pretty little liars on ABC Family. The show, based off of Sara Shepard’s book series Pretty Little Liars (can be ordered online at Barnes and Noble), follows 5 high school girls after their best friend’s murder. It’s fun to watch: critique the girls’ fashion, chatter about who is the prettiest cast member and blindly guess who ’A’ (the name assigned to the mysterious texter who constantly haunts and…

Lost approaches its end

By Allie Perison Editor in Chief With only two episodes remaining in the series, Lost is finally approaching its end. I think we all thought we would have more answers by now, but things are starting to come together. On the last episode, we were given the back story on Jacob and the man who inhabits John Lockes body who has yet to have a name. We learned that the two characters are in fact brothers of a mother who was murdered immediately after their birth. The story continues to show the bond between the two brothers that eventually fades into hatred. The relationship between Jacob and no named brother seems to be much deeper than…

ABC’s new show Happy Town

by Ashley Attanucci Staff Writer Murder, mystery, dramatic music -all the ingredients for a perfect scary TV show that have me hooked on ABC’s new show Happy Town. Ironic to the title, the quaint town of Haplin is creepy, its people are creepy and the series of events are creepy and pretty much the exact opposite of anything happy the townspeople could ask for. A quick idea about what the show is about: There’s a town, called Haplin, also known as “Happy Town” (in Minnesota). Its small population is plagued with a history of unsolved kidnappings of their children (main suspect: “Magic Man”) and a recent murder upsets the recovering town. The show is interesting because it…

The final season progresses

By Allie Perison Editor in Chief As the last episodes of Lost come to a closing, it seems that everything is leading back to relationships. Throughout the entire series, it is the character development and relationships that have kept most of us watching. To me, it seems like Desmond is now playing a sort of Jacob like role, pushing all of the Oceanic flight members to find the person they connected with on the island. The real question is if the same thing that happens on the island is inevitably going to happen regardless of location. I wonder if Hurley’s lover will eventually die and if clair will stay go crazy. I also can’t help…

Idol doesn’t live up to previous seasons

By Rebecca Fowler Staff Writer It’s one of the biggest reality shows on TV…and one of the longest running ones.  American Idol has been in production since Season 1 in 2002, and has grown in popularity. However, this year’s contestants don’t seem quite up-to-par with previous competitors from past seasons.  With the show down to twelve girls and twelve guys this week, one would think the narrowed-down selection would bring forth better voices.  But that is not what viewers experienced Tuesday and Wednesday. The judges were extremely critical of nearly all the singers, whether it was bashing their song choice, nerves or general talent.  Though they were occasionally overly-harsh, I think it is safe to…

Lost presents new mysteries

Allie Perison Editor in Chief Last night’s episode of Lost made one thing clear to me: regardless of which story line is reality, the passengers of flight 815 will be tied to each other in some way or another. It should come as no surprised that last night’s episode “What Kate Does” was all about Kate. After reading a few fan websites, I learned that the episode title was a play off of an older episode entitled “What Kate Did” that focused on telling the story how Kate tried to murder her father and now was a fugitive. When Kate left the island last season and took Aaron as her own, she felt a huge responsibility…

Pants on the Ground

By Rebecca Fowler Staff Writer As anyone who has been following “American Idol” Season 9 knows, a new revolution in music has taken place. Sixty-three year old war veteran Larry Platt thrilled viewers with his self-written audition song “Pants on the Ground,” complete with a rhythmic beat and unique dance moves. Though he was not sent through to Hollywood week, Platt has definitely made a name for himself. Less than 24 hours after his audition on “American Idol,” his song was playing across YouTube, and a Facebook group had been created in his honor. The Minnesota Vikings even did a “‘Pants on the Ground’ Chant” after their victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The…

New upgrades for “Chuck”

Rebecca Neumann Staff Writer After being on hiatus since April, NBC’s hit television show “Chuck” has returned with some new upgrades. “Chuck” centers around Chuck Bartowski, played by Zachary Levi, a computer expert for the fictional Buy More technology store (sound familiar?). Two years ago, in the series premiere, his life was suddenly turned upside-down when he came in contact with a computer program called the Intersect that downloaded top-secret government information into his brain. What is so appealing about the show is its extensive back-story and depth. This fact has earned “Chuck” a panel at San Diego’s Comic-Con as well as a flock of devoted fans. It has invoked so much enthusiasm, in fact,…
