Ok so it's not Cassablanca, it's teen soap opera but it's good teen soap opera and worth a watch if you get the chance. Some good performances by some unknowns, who seem to have since disappeared again and an original plot all help to drag this well above the normal US teen drama level.

Soap opera on wheels...
DaysHaze11 August 2000
The Jackson Decker Band has reunited 15 years after their last go-around as one of the hottest acts. Premiering last Wednesday, Live Through This was chalk full of all the passion and intrigue any good daytime drama worth its spit could offer. Illegitimate children crawling out of the woodwork, bad girls unexpectedly hopping on tour, the rekindling of an old romance- and all in the first episode! The drama primarily deals with the now grown offspring of the seemingly single Jackson Decker Band who have come together after many years apart. We have Lu, taking care of her recovering alcoholic, lead singer mother, who is also dealing with seeing her ex-boyfriend Chase, for the first time in a long time. Then there's Chase, who is serving as tour manager and dealing with his self-involved father. Chase's sister, Olivia, also appears suddenly as Britney Spears gone bad after getting kicked out of her private school. Darby, daughter of the overprotective drummer of Jackson Decker, is looking for experience of ANY kind on this tour. Next, there's Wireless, the unlucky in love goof ball of the group, and Travis, the forsaken unknown son of Jackson Decker's pretty boy who is looking for a little recognition from his father.
This show definitely has promise. Stay tuned 'til next week!
