So, Hey! Do you like Big Time Rush? And ridiculous 90's things? And British people? And possibly also magic? Oh, and really attractive people who touch a lot? And shipable pretty girls? Then you should really, really go watch some episodes of one of my very favorite ridiculous shows of all time, S Club 7. When I first saw BTR, S Club 7 was the first thing I thought of. I know the obvious reference is The Monkees, but S Club was trying to be The Monkees too, actually, the Monkees meets Saved By The Bell, and it was on when I actually was a Tween. (ABC Family? I think? Was ABC Family even ABC Family then?) I totally had their album, and watched the show all the time, and a year or so ago when I was sick one day I marathoned a ridiculous number of episode and fell in love with it all over again.
And really, a lot of my deep hopes for BTR comes from this show. Like magic. You guys. They had Magic. I really, really hope the BTR boys discover they are magic. How amazing would that be? Sadly, I could not find any downloadable episodes with magic, but there is still lots of ridiculousness to be had in this piscpam. (And also subtitles. Oops.) You should really check it out.
The story so far: S Club 7 is a British pop group who went to America to make their fortune and become famous. Their manager was a jerk, though, and the hotel they were sent to didn't want them as entertainers but as workers. After a summer of working for an angry man named Howard in Miami, the kids set out for LA to make their dreams come true. Along the way they travel into the past like, three times, and there is magic. It is all a good time. We should join them now. *nods*
