Is D.C. Prep the Washington Gossip Girl Nobody Has Been Waiting For?
 

How do you make Washington D.C. appear interesting on television? Well, the answer isn't K Street. But perhaps its in this teaser for possible new series D.C. Prep, which acknowledges that the spawn of persons of power — vice presidents, Fed chairmans, ambassadors — all hang out with each other where alcohol and drugs are nearby. Third-grade Googling doesn't reveal much about this series, so this trailer here might be as far as production has gone. And while we'd be totally juiced about this show making it to air — yes, The CW is a natural fit — there's one suspicious lie they're trying to push: That D.C. types are this attractive. And worth having sex with.

What a complete load of crap–from top to bottom, start to finish. Just a huge stinking piece of crap. Hollywood has never–literally never–been able to capture D.C. on television or on film, and it never will, in a sense. Because the reality will never make a good television show or film. Reality is reality, and basic meat-and-potatoes government and politics–as it is really practiced–is not fodder for a TV show or a movie. It just isn't. That people drink alchol, do drugs and have sex is not news, people–that happens to occur in every jurisdiction in every country on every continent on the planet. That doesn't mean that makes a good TV show or movie. In fact, it's boring already. Hollywood: In regards to trying to pathetically capture D.C.: Move on. There's nothing to see hear. It's all over, folks. Move on. It's that simple.
