DC's the '90's grunge=Orange Juice in Bishop's Garden

Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden is a fiercely local and independent web series, set in DC about the lives of a group of a teens growing up in the 90s. Quick flashback to the '90s when we were all watching the show that was in the most popular and coveted zip code on the planet "90210." Is the theme song still going through your head?

DC ON HEELS supports local entertainment in the nation's capital! With an array strong young actors, OBJB takes you through a real and raw look of peer pressure, teen relationships, popularity, sexuality, rebellion and so much more. The series centers around being 16 y.o. in DC in 1994 and the story follows the lives of a group of teenagers during the summer. Meet the characters here. 

 Watch the very fist episode!

Season 3 finds the teens growing up and getting down in 1996. Think grunge, Doc Martens, rave and underage tomfoolery. The class of 1996 did it! They finally graduated. All that dumb high school drama is so yesterday. Or is it? Sarah’s and Gwen’s future plans just don’t seem to mix. Meanwhile, Libby, Alex, Tamsin and Remi face an endless summer of gummy worm fishing, ice cream eating and the occasional late night rave in an abandoned warehouse. Remi becomes a fakey faker and Alex finds herself in her own complicated love triang­­­le between too cool for school Sam and nerdy Davis. And…Adrian trips on acid and joins the Navy.

Join the teens as they pull you into their world of grunge florals and general jankiness during another summer in D.C… the summer when everything changes.

AND NOW FOR THE A*HEEL OF THE WEEK

Wide Receiver Randy Moss needs to eat a big fat piece of humble pie. He is my a*heel of the week. Who does he think he is?! You would think somebody who didn't come from a lot, and parlayed his athletic abilities to become an NFL player that  makes millions of dollars would remember his roots. But the comments he made about the food that was catered to he and his  team, by Gus Tinucci, the proprietor of Tinnuci's Restaurant and Catering was just unacceptable.  

Said Tunucci:
"We had the whole buffet set up, and we had a nice spread--chicken,ribs, round of beef with a carving station, the whole deal. (Moss) he comes in, and I'm helping one of the guys and didn't look up, and all of a sudden I heard, 'What the (expletive) is this? I wouldn't feed this (expletive expletive) to my (expletive) dog!' And he's screaming it at the top of his lungs. "He never even came through the line. He walked up towards it, looked at it, made the big stink and walked away. He didn't eat.

I really hope that Moss makes a public apology for his childish behavior and especially to Mr. Tinucci. And until he does then he will hold the title of being a complete A*heel. 

Ok and if you missed last week's entertainment recap with us on TBDTV then here you go!
