Truly Dreadful Film
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Did you people see the same film I saw?
"Ooh, I love this.." Whoops, someone else quoted Garrett's much used catchline. The reviewer who mentioned this as for the whole family's right on, and to that last poster, to each their own opinion, on the show being a waste (the one that said the episodes should be burned in the lake of filming!) I wish Stacey Moseley had become a major big screen star like SMG had,and that Cariksa Dahlbo had made it, like Sarah M.Gellar, Mira Sorvino and Brittany "That 80s Show"/"Sweet Valley High" Daniel did. Very funny and surreal show, as already mentioned by others. No high school mentioned either! Just a pictoresque, Victorian like setting with all kinds of weird stuff happening, and songs like "Talk as Sweet as Honey","Pola Dot Pink", and the theme, "Gotta Grow Up Sometime"., Glad to see so many others rememebered it, and I was already thirty when it aired..:)Fun show for the whole family..
View MoreI agree to the fullest on the DVD release of Swans Crossings. I am also looking for the episodes, I tried looking on ebay and couldn't find it. I remember watching when I was young and I also had to rush home to watch. I even watched it in the morning before school, after they had cancelled the show. I would love to sign your petition if there is a way for me to sign it. LIke I said, I would love to purchase the season on DVD. Or at least somewhere. If you know how to find it on ebay can you let me know how to find it on search or something. I typed in just swans crossing and it pulled up two dolls from the show. I left my email here so you can contact me with the info, If you can. I also need closure. Dena caligurl1076@yahoo.com
View MoreGarrett Booth(Shane McDermott), the conceited, self-absorbed mirror kisser in the dirty dozen of rich Long Island children said it best;"OOOOH, I love myself!"Ooooh, I loved this series. Why did it have to disappear? It was so long ago, about ten years ago, and I still remember the characters like it was Yesterday. Sarah Michelle Gellar was the snooty anti-heroine torn between her love for Garrett and her Mayor Mother's hatred for all Booth males. She told Ralph, her valet, to 'Use your Petals' when he was driving her. Brittany Daniel, the witchy snoot Jessie Wakefield in "Sweet Valley High", was the beautiful angel Mila Rosnowsky. She wanted to fit in, but she had to escape the shadow of her Countess mother and the annoying yet cute cockatoo Tutu. Stacey Moseley was the hard-as-nails heck-cat Callie Walker who didn't take no poopy from nobody. Carise Dahlbo was the sweet Gloria "Glory" Booth, who was spunky and adorable, but always in the wrong place in the wrong time; one instance really got her in a world of trouble. Devin Doherty was Jimmy Clayton, the melancholy love interest of Callie who kept to himself when he wasn't trying to keep Cassie from going too hardcore. Eddie Robinson was genius Neil Atwater, co-creator of the high explosive UB2B. He was a girl-hater and a science lover; both occupations nearly cost him his best bud and his LIFE. Tom Carroll was J.T. Adams, Neil's computer-cranking partner, Glory's love interest and Garrett's "tech-weenie" bully victim. J.T.'s hate for Garrett dominoed into danger for both Neil and Glory. Kristen Mahon played Sandra Swan, the not-as-rich-as-Sidney plain girl used by Garrett to get even with Sidney for an incident that got him in a peck of trouble with all of Swan's Crossing. Alex Tanaka was Bobby Decastro, whose "Saja" personna protected Jimmy and Callie from the great Mumba-Jumba, an evil entity of bad luck. Evan Ferrante was Owen Fowler, a musician and a geek with the hots for Sandy. Last, but never least, was Kristy Barbera, aka the conniving, scandalous Nancy Robbins. She was Sidney's partner in the crime of being snooty and prissy.Swan's Crossing was blessed with crazy characters out the wazoo. From the foreign spies known as the Baldies to the mysterious Berek, who always caught Callie's suspicious eye. From J.T.'s sassy sister to Saja's sophisticated sibling who always wanted to be older than she was. And lets not forget the bird. With wacky plot twists, mature storylines and that awesome dozen that starred in the show, Swan's Crossing would have been on today if not for ninnies who didn't know a good thing when they saw it. I was so honored to have met Sarah and her friends Carise, Eddie, Devin, Stacy, and Brittany while they were at Toys-R-Us that 1992 day. Carise's mom was nice, too. Great show. Great cast. I'll never forget the zaniness of that show. Especially not Sidney Rutledge and Garrett Booth. OOOOH, I loved that show!
View MoreThis was by far one of the best-written and best acted shows for teenagers in memory. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Brittany Daniel, and Mira Sorvino all went on to have fabulous careers, and they all did a fine job on this show. SMG blew me away in her scenes where her character Sydney nearly drowned and was in shock. "Nobody helps me! Never!" What a powerful performance (I still believe it was the best scene I have ever seen her do)! It only lasted 13 weeks, not nearly given enough time to build a solid audience plus the timeslots were a little ridiculous. Most of all, the show was somewhat a fantasy, but it was real enough because the characters were going through what normal teenagers go through. The storylines were clever and there was always a surprise on Friday's episode (not many soaps can say that). Too bad the devoted fans will never get to find out how these stories played out. Had this show been given a chance, it might have lasted for years.
