Other than this odd title, what can we expect? Here is ABC's summary of the new show:
A wide-eyed Midwestern girl moves to New York City to pursue her dream job only to find herself living with an outlandish girl with the morals of a pirate. June's (Dreama Walker) well-planned well-organized life takes a drastic turn when she arrives in New York to find that the corporate finance job she moved there for no longer exists. As she tries to navigate her newly single life in the big city, her Midwestern scruples are constantly put to the test by her wild and sophisticated party-girl roommate Chloe (Krysten Ritter) and Chloe's best friend, the actor James Van Der Beek (James Van Der Beek). The two girls form an unlikely friendship that leads them both to unexpected places and often-illegal experiences.
Most of the press has concerned the return of James Van Der Beek, the "star" from the earlier Dawson's Creek. Admittedly, Van Der Beek has done a nice job making fun of himself recently (see A**hole for Hire on Funny or Die - sorry, I had to play with the title), which has endeared him with past fans who saw him as a one-note character. The question now is whether his presence on this new show will become a worn-out gag or help the show gain both viewership and staying power. I have my doubts that this new series will stick around, and would like to say "Don't Trust the Suits in ABC," but I may watch the first episode to see what happens.
