But of course they should have kept the red fiat at the start of the series! Now what are they going to spend their left over earnings on (Computers for the Oracle – wait we’re in the 2000′s of course the Oracle already have computers!!)
Peace, love & Sweet Valley,

Because what high school has sororities and fraternities anymore? (Unless you go to prep school…I’m thinking of the Puffs on “Gilmore Girls.”) Now it’s the Sweet Valley Beautification Committee? WTF?!

And like hello! Schools can still have newspapers!! Its not as if its ANCIENT!
Its stupid changing it to a website. So many plots and situations wouldnt make sense now!
I mean what about when Todd moves to Vermont and Liz writes him a letter every day and eagerly looks in the mailbox every day for a letter from him? People would just ask why she doesnt just use email?
Cell phones too… I mean how many times did the twins (and other characters) get lost? Or they were late home and had no way to contact the family? Or they needed help (especially all the horrible situations they found themselves in during the super thrillers!) and they never had cell phones because it was before their time, but NOW with cell phones, half these plots wouldnt even occur!
BartTempleton is right, and how often can they use the battery dead excuse?
I understand they want new generations to enjoy the series too but dammit, it was set in the 80′s!! Let it stay that way.

I’m going to be buying the original SVH books! FSM help me.

The absolutely most shocking change of all, IMO, there is no DAIRI BURGER! The name of this website needs to be changed to Casa Sol or something like that. It’s a cheaply priced Mexican restaurant where the gang likes to hang out. It was from this restaurant that Todd notices Rick Andover kidnapping the twins.

IIRC, original Dana would look downright wholesome compared to a lot of teenagers today. Her look was co-opted and mainstreamed by the likes of Gwen Stefani and Forever 21… oooh, I think I just found an excuse for Stefani’s fashion line: overexposure to descriptions of SVH fashions.

I will buy them, purely to generate interest, in the hopes that SV Heights will get published, one day.
