Anyone else watching the reality show "High School Reunion" on TV Land? It's only two episodes into it and I am seriously hooked! And I rarely watch reality shows at all!
The premise is, the have taken some people from the graduating class of 1987 at a high school in Texas. It's seems they have tried to represent the different types of "clicks" in high by the people the have selected; the bully, the jock, the drama queen, the outsider, etc. Then they threw them all into this house in Hawaii and the sparks start flying!
Turns out two of them were married; however, they divorced after the woman had an affair with her husband's best friend. Another member of the class of 1987, that was brought into the house at the end of the second episode. Can't wait to see what happens next week!
I think the thing that amazes me the most, is that some of these people did actually keep up with each other after graduation. I have not spoken to hardly any of the people I went to high school with since..... well, since graduation. I have not been to any reunions, and have no interest in going to one. The odd thing is, I now live back in the same town I went to high school in. Of course, I was away for a few years while I was in the Navy and living in New Orleans. It just seems odd that I never run into any of them.
Another really cool thing about the show is they play a different 80's song at just about every change of scene. Kind of a blast from the past, music wise, for me. I still love 80's music!
Oh well, just curious to see if anyone else has watched this show and what they might have thought about it.

Yayyyyy! Now I don't feel so old!
I graduated in '83, so that's 25 years for me.
Still, I always think it might be interesting to see what some of the people I knew way back when, look like now. Is the prom queen now a trailer park queen with about 30 kids? Is the sports jock a raging alcoholic? Or is he gay? Who's been incarcerated? Did the nerd turn into a body builder?
Wait a minute. I was the nerd. So......that's a definite no.

Oh, I thought I was the only one in the world who watches TVLand!  I love this show! And I find it interesting. I haven't kept in contact with anyone from high school except maybe a handful of people. I would LOVE to do something like this show! It would be awesome! Whatever happened to all the little cheerleaders that graduated with me? Hmmmm..... And I haven't gone to my reunions. Yuck. And I graduated high school in 1985, so no one is old here!

I think I posted this before; however, I think it is worth repeating.
I realized I was an old fart the day I had to explain to a girl in her early 20's exactly who the group Duran Duran was. She had honestly never, ever heard of them before.
I felt like crying.

Don't let it get to ya, Ron. I had Dr. Hook's 'Acapulco Goldie' playing on the bus the other day. Some young pup asked me why the mariachi music....... 
We'll see what he makes of the off-Broadway soundtrack to 'Hair!' The next time I see him.

Class of 88! The best of times.... I will have to look the show up. I'm starting to prepare for my 20 year reunion this year. I wasn't going to go but my ex-husband married a girl I graduated with and even hung around with. Ought to be interesting and since I am still single I better start now on "looking good"! Listed to 80's on my way in to work this morning they were calling it "Blast from the past Friday"!
