Trivia:

The mortuary where the dead roommate's ashes were taken was called "Steadlawn Mortuary" an anagram of "Wasteland" - gallows humor since that was the last filmed episode and everyone on the team knew the show was about to be axed.

"Better Than Dawson's Creek!"

I really enjoyed Wasteland when it was on air, it's about

the 2nd coming of age. When I first saw it, it made sense

to me, I mean Dawson's Creek was OK, but does any REAL

teenagers know those BIG LONNNNNNGGGGG words they say on

the show? I mean they are acting more like grown up rather than teens, but on "Wasteland" They WERE grown ups so it made sense to them what were they were saying. BRING BACK

WASTELAND!!!
