My Life as Liz is a hilarious MTV show revolving around Texas teen Liz Lee, a proud nerd and high school outcast. The first season has ended, but episodes of the quasi-reality show are available online.
I’ve been a fan of the show since day one, but many avoid watching because they don’t understand whether it is “real.” The answer is that My Life as Liz is somewhat real: Liz is a real high school student, her friends and enemies are real, the situations on the show are real but… MTV has dramatized it.
For the flak MTV has garnered for The Hills, My Life as Liz is upfront about the dramatization of reality shows. But, unlike The Hills, which forces L.A. twenty-somethings to be friends, the relationships-good and bad-in My Life as Liz are actually real.
What makes My Life as Liz worth watching are Liz’s hilarious comments. She is as witty as Glee’s Sue Sylvester, only nicer, and has left me quoting her for ages.
Here are five quotes from My Life as Liz that may convince you to tune in:
1. “Friends don’t let friends wear Slankets.”
2. “Don’t judge me. Yes, I am taking refuge in a blanket with sleeves.”
3. “Glitter is like the herpes of arts and crafts.”
4. “I’m sweatin’ like a hooker in Church.”
5. “Oh God, she discovered propaganda.”
