...mother having an affair, both plots straight from Dawson's Creek Season 1. But its characters are much more believable--Dino, Ben and Jonathan aren't miniature adults, they're kids.

The sole thing that keeps us from bloodshed is that we have our own capacious beverage holders, business-class-size seats and entertainment pods. Dad has his satellite radio, Mom has her magazine, and the kids have their DVD consoles and MP3 players and Game Boy Advances, happily obliterating the unpleasant evidence of one another's existence...
