Read these! Best books on TV. To mark National TV Turnoff Week, Entertainment Weekly recommends that viewers should read books about TV instead. And so the Buffy Script Books get a glowing recommendation. In related EW list mania, Sunnydale High gets chosen as one of the worst pop cult high schools that you wouldn't want to attend.

Neptune High? Whether its best or worst would depend on if you're friends with Veronica I suppose.

Anyone else have a strange liking of these ultimatly pointless lists? I just have to read them for some reason.

Heh, Chilton Academy for one of the worst? No, I wouldn't want to go to an overachieving prep school, but I hardly think you can put it on the same list as Sunnydale High where you may very likely get killed!

As for Neptune... it's not on the list, right? But I would probably have put it on the worst list. Although I guess if you are a '09er, you're happy enough. I wouldn't want to go to a school with such class segregations, though.

Hogwarts is an obvious hell yes for me. Unless Prof. Umbridge is the headmistress.

As for Sunnydale, a part of me would like to go there, but only if I was one of the Scoobies, or at least in the loop as far as the whole demons, vampires, and monsters thing goes. In this case, ignorance would lead to...well, eternal bliss (one would hope), but it would make high school more interesting, to say the least.
The thing that makes me not want to go there? Snyder! I think the tiny, short, impotent Nazi is the worst thing--including poltergeists, giant snakes, and standardized testing--to happen to that school.

And I really, really, wouldn't want to go to Hemery. Or Chilton, for that matter, though I would do fine academically...just not socially due to lack of WASP-iness.

But top on my list would have to go to Westerburg High, from the movie Heathers.

Nah Neptune wasn't on the list but as I've always thought of it; it would be fine if you're friends with Veronica then if theres any problems you pay the money (unless you're good friends) and all is rosey. Get on her bad side and not so much.

"Every high school in this country, from one end to the other, smells exactly alike. Now, why do you suppose that is?"
