The Hills: New Beginnings premieres tonight, but it (and most of reality TV) owes everything to Laguna Beach 🌊
On June 24, The Hills will answer the million-dollar question: Can a small group of affluent white women in their 30s still have fun in Hollywood?
But we’re not only watching for drama . The allure of the original The Hills existed less in the soapy plot devices than the lifestyle it used to lure viewers in. And this magic was sparked by its predecessor, Laguna Beach—a TV show that birthed reality TV as we know it, and convinced us of the notion that watching a highly-edited version of someone’s “real” life means that we actually know them. Of course, in 2019 most of us know that personas and persons are two different things.
We loved to see it. The series’ voyeuristic setup gave viewers a window into the lifestyles of the rich and pseudo famous, allowed us to root for personalities we related to most, and also perpetuated the tabloid-sanctioned “Stars! They’re Just Like Us!” ethos of the mid-2000s.
Granted, this genre is easy to knock, especially since on top of feeding us glorified CCTV footage, Laguna Beach and later The Hills were arguably just shows about nothing. The cast’s lives revolved around nightclubs, they were all shockingly entitled, and their conflicts were fueled by drinking and jealousy. Plus, the more famous the cast became, the more their exploits were covered by blogs and tabloids.
