Chloe tries to be a part of Eddie's music video; Tyler reveals his secret; Loren and Eddie grow closer. Free Download Video Hollywood Heights 18th July 2012 Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Hollywood Heights Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Follow Loren, an aspiring songwriter and straight-A high school student, as her life drastically changes. When Loren gets thrown into the spotlight suddenly, and meets her musical idol, Eddie Duran, nothing will ever be the same for anyone. The obstacles that come with life and fame become instantly apparent, but it's the strong bond between friends and family that help them all through.The premiere (which, smartly, Nick at Nite will repeat every night for a week) centers on Loren landing tickets to see Eddie perform, with the help of her friend Melissa (Ashley Holliday). Melissa's protective mom is played by Meredith Salenger, a one-time teen star herself, apparently to make baby boomers feel that much older.Exec producer Jill Farren Phelps ("General Hospital") and head writer Josh Griffith ("The Young and the Restless") both have daytime pedigrees, but "Heights" appears handcuffed by its too-narrow range, which applies as much to the characters and subplots (Eddie lost his mom; the loyalties of his girlfriend, played by Melissa Ordway, are suspect) as to its blandly generic songs.
Even with Eddie and Loren on what's described as a "Star is Born"-type collision course -- with her career, by virtue of winning a contest, destined to take off while his cools -- neither is engaging enough beyond the obvious surface qualities to trigger much rooting interest.
"She can't talk to you like that!" Melissa protests at one point on Loren's behalf. But alas, dialogue-wise, she does, and they do.
Still, James Franco is slated to appear in an upcoming arc of episodes, which will surely be promotable, and the show does have 16 weeks to find its groove.
That said, TV programs get one chance to make a first impression, and "Hollywood Heights" comes out flat in a manner that, far from Loren's contortions to see Eddie, isn't worth breaking curfew to see.
Camera, Abed; music, Dominic Messenger; songs by Jon Asher and the Rockstars, Matthew Tishler & Andrew Ang, Michelle Lewis & Dan Petty; casting, Dan Shaner, Michael Testa. 60 MIN.
I expected to hate this show right off the bat and only watched the first episode because nothing else was on TV. But right away I was hooked and found myself anxiously waiting for every new episode.
I was a bit shocked that it's on Nick@Nite though even though at night it's more of an adult's channel it's still fairly pg-13 when it comes to romance and Hollywood Height while it doesn't show EVERYTHING it shows hot make-out sessions and clothes being torn off, and by then I think anyone could figure out what's going to happen.
From a business perspective, "Hollywood Heights" could hardly seem timelier. With daytime serials fast disappearing from the major networks, Nickelodeon has adapted a Spanish telenovela and will strip the 80 episodes weeknights through October -- tailored to its demo with a musical component and teen-tempting leads.
It's in the execution, alas, where the formula breaks down, less for being bad than uneventful, with breathy kissing about as intense as the opening installments get. For a show with a pop undercurrent that proclaims itself "sizzling," "Heights" is pretty tepid and lacks a hit song's most basic element: A catchy hook.
