Zap2it's 2007 Guilty Pleasures: Baldwin Hills
BET

Every once in a while, I get way more into a show about high-school kids than I, as a guy in his mid-30s, have any right to do. This past summer, I found myself delving deep into the drama around Moriah and Gerren, rooting for shy photographer Willie and hoping Staci could get herself on the right path. The show may be a ripoff of Laguna Beach, but the kids of Baldwin Hills seemed a lot more like the kinds of kids who, if I were that age, Id want to know.

Every once in a while, I get way more into a show about high-school kids than I, as a guy in his mid-30s, have any right to do. This past summer, I found myself delving deep into the drama around Moriah and Gerren, rooting for shy photographer Willie and hoping Staci could get herself on the right path. The show may be a ripoff of "Laguna Beach," but the kids of "Baldwin Hills" seemed a lot more like the kinds of kids who, if I were that age, I'd want to know.
