Brett Love at TVSquad<\/a> has posted a review of the Dear Harvard<\/cite> pilot<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

[…] there was a nice surprise in Dear Harvard. […] Of the four drama pilots that I saw, this one is the closest to what I would call ready for prime time. It starts with a solid premise. The ‘Dear Harvard’ from the title is a blog kept by the main character, Honor, chronicling her quest to make it to the Ivy League. […] It’s also the best ‘pilot’ of the bunch as it really does a good job setting up what the series would be. […] The production values of Dear Harvard are really high as well. It’s one of the best looking of the pilots I have seen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n

(You’ll remember<\/a> that Dear Harvard<\/cite> is the TV pilot in which Claire Jenkins<\/a> has a few songs. There’s a trailer<\/a> online, but it’s being served in such a way that I can’t play it to see if any of Claire’s music appears in it.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He suggests, as I did<\/a>, that it’s obvious CW fare, but points out that that mini-network has a similarly-targeted show already scheduled. There’s obviously hope, though, so I’ll keep fingers crossed and an ear to the ground for new developments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And developments there are…<\/p>\r\n

“Harvard,” a teen drama about a young girl at an elite private school, won three awards, including the TV Guide Audience Award, which is voted by popular choice. The Anne Jarmain-produced pilot also won for best drama, and Ella Rae Peck was named best actress.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/ins>\r\n\r\n

By the way, lest any regular folk think from the recent slew of posts about Claire<\/a> that I’ve forsaken Lenni<\/a>, fear not! There’s much good news to come from Miss Jabour<\/a>… just not quite yet.<\/p><\/div>
