"Class of '96" is the FOX series directed by Peter Horton (of "thirtysomething" fame). The show deals with the story of 7 friends who attend Havenhurst College, a fictitious Ivy League school located in New England. The show was first introduced in January of 1993 and was canceled in May at the end of the show's first season. Written by Cliff Chen <cliff@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu>
I'd forgotten about this show, but was recently reminded when I saw one of the actresses (Kari Wuhrer) in another show recently. I liked it a lot (though I had been out of college for many years!) and was very upset when it was canceled. The cast was really excellent, and the writing was true to life. I guess this is the show that started the "Jason Gedrick curse," which I totally don't understand! I was also a fan of EZ Streets and Boomtown, later vehicles of his which were also were canceled despite their excellence. Megan Ward was another standout cast member of Class of '96 who went on to roles in some high-profile series -- and also was in the ill-fated Boomtown.
