I'll start by saying that I do not expect summertime TV to deeply move me, challenge me, or enlighten me. With that said, I was hooked the moment I started watching and I believe it works perfectly in the way it was **** light summertime fun that "took me back" to my own fond memories of summer camp. I think what works best for this show is that the actors themselves are (in my opinion) very likable people. Griffiths, and the actors that play Kip, Buzz, Marina are the best. Sarah's "deep angst" and ambivalence toward swimming -and Robbie- are about the only story lines that seem overly contrived to me. (Basically I say, just lighten up on the light summer comedy if that's what it's about). When the girls are feuding -like girls can do- I think it's hilarious. Buzz's super earnest "agenda" amuses me too. Lastly, I could look at that outdoor setting all day. The beautiful weather in every episode gave me an endless-summer vibe in a way I had not felt since I was a kid. Obviously it's scheduled at the perfect time of year and wouldn't work any other time. It actually sparked just a bit more outdoor drive in me, and that's WAY more than I'd ever expect from network TV in July/August.... It's been a great summer in Minnesota this year, and Camp was a nice little touch.
