My Life as Liz

Visualizing the thoughts and feelings of its star, this highly stylized reality series depicts the life of teenager Liz Lee, documenting how the rebellious high-school senior from a small, button-down Texas town fits among her more "normal" peers. She regularly clashes with the school's "blond squad" -- or laughs at them and its leader, Cori -- and when she's not reading comic books or making mixed CDs, Liz wastes time with like-minded classmates, among them Bryson, Sully, Troy and Miles. The series also depicts Liz, who plays herself, as do her friends and fellow students, making a big move from the familiar confines of Burleson High in Texas to Pratt Institute, a world-renowned art school in Brooklyn, N. Y.
