The show

Published: 8 October 2000 y., Sunday
The WB teen factory has churned out yet another angst-filled high school drama. And this one's a gotta-see. Grosse Pointe goes behind the scenes of a fictional teen drama and serves up a belly full of delicious devilry. "Grosse Pointe" is the name of the show within a show. And once the on-camera cameras stop rolling, the "real" backstabbing, bitching and boinking begins. Think Dawson's Creek meets The Truman Show, where you can follow favorite actors after hours and see who's really bedding whom. Why It Works: This is a natural extension of Survivor-induced Peeping Tomism. Every character on Grosse Pointe is fair game for 24/7 surveillance; you get the scoop whether you want it or not. The show goes beyond outing the starlet who demands her favorite blended coffee drink be flown to her on location and digs up more dirt than Martha Stewart during harvest season. Plus, the show has already spawned a good bit of juicy gossip. After Aaron Spelling got a preview of the pilot, he freaked over the character Marcy Sternfeld, a redhead and a dead ringer for his darling Tori. Spelling insisted Marcy--whose uncle is a network honcho--be changed to make her "nicer." Well, nobody wants to end up on the wrong side of Spelling, so his "request" was honored. But his tantrum has already given credibility to the show's premise, showing that real-life drama can be wilder and crazier than any script.
