Has anyone seen the show?

It was a short-lived show on the WB and premiered in the summer of 2000. The reason that I am mentioning this is that Ian Somerholder was one of the leads.

Well anyways it is on YouTube, there are some auido problems, but I think it is worth watching. BTW...It was a spinoff of Dawson's Creek.

I watched several episodes and I had a friend who was really into it, but I never watched the whole season. It was okay. I thought it was a little annoying how it was a product placement vehicle for CocaCola and Friendly's. But it wasn't a bad show. It was kind of an experiment right? I think I remember it came on during the summer when all the other shows were on reruns. They filmed it in Maryland, I remember that. Random fact courtesy the obsessed friend.

I also don't think it's fair to call it a Spin-Off of Dawson's Creek. They introduced Will as a character (2 or 3 eps?) JUST to advertise for the show. I know that they called it a spin-off, but that's really stretching it.

I totally agree with you! I did not mean to call it a spin-off of Dawson's Creek, I was just using it as a comparison, and some people do not like Dawson's Creek.

Friendly's and Coca-Cola were plugged in every single episode. The main reason that I enjoy the show is because of the relationship between the characters Hamilton (Ian Somerhadler) and Jake (Katherine Moening, she plays Shane on the L Word).

I cannot believe that Kate Bosworth was in that show.

Awesome! There are some audio problems, but I think that you will get the jist of the show.

I can't believe that Kate Bosworth is a name now haha. I was a fan of Dawson's Creek, but I found that their tactic to pull over DC viewers by introducing this random out-of-nowhere character was kind of demeaning.
