Spin off from The Heartbreak Kid (1993)

I'm past the teenage years but, man, I love this show.

My opinion: Callan Mulvey is the hottest guy I've EVER SEEN. Damn beautiful. I read an article on him once where he said he thinks girls like his character because they like someone who's wild and daring. I say girls like his character because he can be a self-centered smartass, tough, a rebel, but he does care for his friends and can be quite a sweetheart. Boy, we just melt for that. We all want to tame the beast. Plus he's damn funny. Oh, and he's the reason why I got my eyebrow ring :)

But even if it wasn't for this beautiful creature I'd still watch the show for all the other characters and the issues they deal with. It's eye-opening and open-minded. 20 minutes a day well spent and, well..it brings out the adolescent in me :)
