Mindlessly entertaining
12 August 1999
I used to watch this show when I was in high school; it was conveniently on 330 after school was out. I really can't believe the countless hours I wasted watching this soap opera for the teen set, or the countless conversations I had about it with my friends. High school really was a strange time. Anyway...

This show was pretty much your typical soap opera fare, except that it featured no one over the age of 18. It had all your classic soap opera standards: melodramitic plots, terrible dialogue, mediocre acting, poor production values, and way too many closeups. It's really only noteworthy as the first regular TV appearance of Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played the school bitch. In fact, the first time in saw Buffy, I said, "Hey, that's the girl from Swans Crossing". The show wasn't as terrible as the tripe that passes for soap operas nowadays, but it wasn't exactly Gone With the Wind, either. I did derive some degree of enjoyment watching it long ago. In fact, if nothing else were on, I'd probably sit down and watch it.
