The question around here these days: What the devil was FOX thinking, bringing Satan's offspring ashore in such an idyllic place? Sure, the network's new series "Point Pleasant" is just fiction. But still.

"It's evil," said Barbara Stancel, 60, a lifelong resident. "I'm not happy about it. Point Pleasant's known as a family town, and this won't do anything for Point Pleasant."

The one-hour drama centers on pretty blonde Christina Nickson, who turns up on the beach in Point Pleasant, N.J., one day and soon begins raising hell _ wherever she goes, storm clouds gather, candles blow out, cars explode in flames.


but we all know that Faux is evil

1. Peyton Place with Demons...

I read the synopsis on the website...sounds perfectly boring.

But even if it's not...is there any reason why it couldn't have a FICTIONAL Town Name? Is there a reason why it's set in a Blue State rather than a Red? Am I becoming Paranoid?

Tune in next post. :)

2. How can Faux shovel crap like this at us....

...then turn around and moan about the collapse of our culture?

I just don't get it.

4. the real point pleasant is adorable.... it's cheesy and

old school and they have a bar on this pier that extends out to the shore line. you can sip the best pina coladas while scoping out the waves.
i was there after a huge storm and the waves were splashing up 30 feet onto us at the bar, like buckets of water. LOL. that was the start of a damned nice weekend.
doesn't look like much at this time of year, but here's the cam i always call my friends who are sitting at their computers and wave to them from the bar:
