Too much of everything

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

One of the actors on the show, Roxanne Biggs-Dawson, DID survive this show to go on to something else: she would play B'Elanna Torres on Star Trek: Voyager for seven seasons. So yes, SOMETHING good DID come out of this failed show, one of several clones of BH 90210 made by Aaron Spelling.I remember reading an article in Sassy magazine about this show and others like it; the article was called 'All Roads Lead to 90210', and the upshot of the article was about how these shows (including Covington Cross) was a clone of Beverley Hills 90210. The article was right about the other shows mentioned in the article (The Heights, Freshman Dorm, Malibu Road, The Roundtable) being clones, but it was wrong about Covington Cross which was like Bonanza.

I remember this show. I was out and about for a stroll around my neighborhood in the Sunset district of San Francisco and made it a point to get home to watch the premiere episode in the fall of 1992.This was an era when Aaron Spelling's teen and young adult dramas caught on like wildfire. Beverly Hills, 90210 was a smash hit, and Melrose Place debuted earlier in the year. 2000 Malibu Road and The Heights (all executive produced by Spelling) also debuted around the same time.I don't remember whether the show was very good, but I was in my mid-20s and was game to try this new crop of young adult dramas. I don't know exactly how long the show lasted, but like a lot of new shows that don't catch on quickly, it was gone after probably a half-dozen episodes.After the first couple of episodes, NBC promos foretold of Alexandra Wilson joining the show as the "sexy vixen"-type character of Caitlin, presumably to "spice up" the show and attract more viewers. (Reminds me of when "special guest star" Heather Locklear was added to Melrose Place the next year as Amanda Woodward, Allison's boss at D&D Advertising.) This was right after Alexandra portrayed the character of Sarah Brewer on Homefront, and Sarah's sudden death.The opening theme was "Young Americans" by David Bowie.
