My sister and I loved Laguna Beach and especially Lauren Conrad (L.C.). I was deployed in 2006, when The Hills Season 1 aired, but my sister told me about the show and said that I would like it. Once I returned from my deployment, MTV wasn't airing the episodes any more. As soon Season 1 came out, I purchased it on dvd; now I own all three season's! I'm a faithful watcher of The Hills! I am currently deployed, but I plan on buying Season 4 as soon as it's released on dvd!

The storyline isn't that unrealistic and it's not always about shallow things or subjects.It's pretty realistic to me (when you're a wealthy person) and the characters are facing normal 20 something issues.I know,it's a little bit cliché sometimes but it has to be this way,after all,it's a 20 year old girl point of view on life.The only thing I'm complaining about is,and still is these days,THE CHANGING OF SONGS! Does MTV don't have enough frickin' money to afford songs by Ashlee Simpson,Good Charlotte or Imogen Heap?!Even Everybody Elses's song rich girl,poor girl was replaced! God!enough already! A SHOW WITHOUT IT ORIGINAL SONGS IS NOT THE REAL ONE,IT'S LIKE A MOVIE,MUSIC IS A VERY VERY IMPORTANT THING!...

Did I mention all of the drama these fun white girls get into and involved in? Lauren Katherine Conrad by far is my favorite character as she was on Laguna; very , very friendly, sweet, a great friend, down to earth, fun and just so darn love-able. ^_^

But you soon realize that she gets back stabbed at every other turn and her heart breaks over and over. I guess we have that in common!

This drama-fest takes place in Los Angeles, California for a while...she meets Audrina there, and they become close. After a while, she is offered a job behind-the-scenes at a modeling agency. She decides to move to San Fransisco and then the drama starts soon after she meets Heidi.

Heidi meets Spencer, who tries to tear the now-best-friends apart, like my cousin's girlfriend did. See the similarities? Anyway, after some odd lonely nights, Lauren finds the sexy Brody, and they end up sharing their interests, digging each other and totally hooking up. Then, another "friend" of Lauren's hooks up with Brody on New Years Eve. Lauren has HAD it with her, and thinks Brody isn't the problem; it's Jen who has been a friend since childhood.

Drama, drama, drama, drama. But it's fun. Especially if you liked Laguna Beach and what it entailed.

It's a great set! Lots to view and a must for any Hills fans! I gave it has a gift and my friend ADORED it!

I have no idea why I am so drawn to this show. Like another reviewer, I am a 35 year young professional woman that cannot stop watching the show. Whatever the reasons, The Hills is addicting to watch. I would recommend the show to anyone who wants an easy story line, pretty people and the gorgeous back drop of California to make them smile.
