Bravo Is Airing an 'NYC Prep' Marathon — and Twitter Is Loving It
For eight hours today, Bravo is reviving a reality show relic.
The network has been airing a rare NYC Prep marathon since this morning, and Twitter can’t get enough. In case you’re not familiar, the short-lived show ran for one season in 2009 and chronicled the lives of a group of privileged teenagers in Manhattan’s elite high school scene.
Inspired by the CW’s Gossip Girl, it was an attempt to create a reality show version of the hugely popular scripted teen drama. It was swiftly canceled after nine episodes of glorious melodrama, but a legion of fans hunkered down at home amid the coronavirus pandemic are basking in its revival Friday.
Keep scrolling for some of the best reactions on Twitter.

For the rest of my life, if someone hadn’t reminded me, I would never remember that I had watched the pointless Bravo reality show, NYC Prep in 2009, but it’s on right now and nothing has made me happier in weeks than these foolish elitist teenyboppers and their ridiculous lives

That we couldn't make NYC Prep last longer than one season is amongst our greatest cultural failings

Just ran away from my kid’s Zoom meeting so that I could set my dvr for the NYC Prep marathon. Sometimes kids need to learn that not everything is about them. 🤷🏼♀️ #NYCPrep
