I've heard many say the age group of this show is mostly children-so am I the oldest person to watch this show? No, I don't think so. I think this show has the talent to draw the attention of many kinds of crowds, from older children (10-12) to teens like me (13-on) I may be fifteen but I enjoy this show as much, no more than when I first started watching it when it aired. I can enjoy the jokes and comedy of it a lot more now. Honestly I am a bit of a kid at heart but I am also a teenager who likes dirty jokes and stupid but hilarious comedy. And this show is gold. And I've met many a people who are around my age that love this show. So this brings me to my topic-relationships.
I recently viewed an interview with Tom Mcgillis, creator of this glorious show, that said that it was a network request to have Courtney and Duncan broken up because they were getting too serious. First off, I disagree. Secondly, the network can suck it. And thirdly, they really just made me hate Gwen more than I already did! And the reason why I disagree is because that relationship was so dysfunctional it still had a long way to go for it to be 'getting serious'. You wanna know of a certain relationship on the show that's gotten too serious? Bridgette and Geoff. Now don't get me wrong, I love that pairing but if you wanna bring up that this is a 'children' show and that the relationships are 'getting too serious' I'm fifteen and I still watch this show and from my perspective Courtney and Duncan had a long way to go make their relationship work. I'm still a big fan of their pairing of course. In fact, even though Duncan cheated, I still love him.
And now I bring up another factor. Most people love Duncan/Courtney pairing. Because they are so dysfunctional! But if you want to go on to how they work together, let me point out that Duncan and Gwen are alike. TOO ALIKE! Their relationship is nothing more than an infatuation. They work as friends, but they don't work as a couple. People who are too alike, especially people like Duncan and Gwen, who don't really make up for each other's weaknesses are bound to not work out. However where Courtney and Duncan were, they're complete opposites. Seems unlikely they'll ever be together? WRONG! Have you ever heard of opposites attract? Not only that but if you've paid attention to their relationship you notice how they make each other better. Duncan gets Courtney to let loose and relax a little while Courtney helps keep Duncan in line. They may seem dysfunctional but once Duncan stands up to Courtney and the two talk, Courtney could probably let up on trying to fix everything about Courtney and Duncan could stop being such a dick. They both have their flaws but where one lacks, the other strengthens them in their weak points. I really wish they hadn't broken up and I really hope they get back together. If not, I might get very VERY upset. And depending on how it goes, I could stop watching the show. I love the show without Courtney and Duncan, but their relationship is definitely my favorite part of the show and I could get so disappointed I may just stop watching. Seriously. Not forever, but quite a while.
Now that I've finished ranting on Courtney and Duncan's relationship, how about another couple I like? Alejandro and Heather. Now I know that I'm contradicting myself with the opposites attract thing and being too alike but Heather and Alejandro are alike but not so much that their relationship could never work. First off, they have different ways of manipulating people. Whilst everyone knows Heather is a total bitch, Alejandro is constantly pretending to be some nice guy. Whilst Heather plays the game rigorously, Alejandro, though a formidable challenger, can sometimes have trouble when he doesn't have people to manipulate to work for him. They have different ways of working, not to mention other differences. Alejandro is a romantic. Heather is not. Heather has a bad temper. Alejandro keeps a cool head. So if you compare them without looking at those things, you see they are really alike but when you take a closer look there are enough differences that it does work. I really do like them together. I mean it's certainly not the best matched couple but they do make me smile. And the way Heather tries to deny her feelings for him is cute. And seriously only Alejandro can handle Heather and only Heather could handle Alejandro.
