lois-lane33 I just happened to see a few episodes of this particular show and when I found out it was a show made in Canada about Americans going to a prominent College in the USA I was surprised. It's bad enough that there are so few Canadian dramas and or comedies on TV without having to deal with Canadian shows that are about "Americans Livining in the USA." The female lead-I think she was called Charity Shea-is obviously a talented new actress who didn't seem to do anything else after this show was canceled/canceled, however you want to spell it. I detected more than a slight sense of the show being an 'Ode to Daddy Warbucks' type of thinking which I thought was a bit off target where the modern nuclear family is concerned-no matter where its located. I guess you can't win them all.
SnoopyStyle Samantha Best (Charity Shea) is a college freshman in Boston. She must navigate her way thru school and personal obstacles.The first problem is that Charity does not look like a teen college freshman. She was 23 at the start of the show, and she looked at least that age if not older. That goes for most of the other cast members also. The second problem is the soapy stories in an all too fake college environment. The pilot started with an interesting and daring plot line. But it devolves into nothing more than just another college soap opera. The third problem is the many actors turnovers. Siu Ta was a major character and a major storyline. But she's ejected midway in season 1, and never heard from again. And that's not counting the big turnover from season 1 to 2.Now the good, the actors are a likable lot. Even with mediocre material, they made some watchable TV. To be realistic, 21 episodes is more than enough for this show.
sexyrun15 ii have been waiting for a whole year for this show to come back on... and the N had the nerve to cancel it... ii don't understand why because it was like the best show ever... ii mean ii loved it... ii hope they change their minds and bring the show back for many seasons to come... ii mean ii was actually home in time to watch this show every week... ii seriously hope that the N realizes what a great show they had and they bring it back... ii think ii speak for a lot of people when ii say ii miss coming home to watch "The Best Years" every Friday.. to all of the cast of this show ii wish you well and ii hope to see you on the N soon...
ktr8rmv814 Wow. I cannot believe that The N canceled this show! The characters in the show were amazingly developed and the drama was real. All of the cast definitely played their roles well. Many of the characters were likable and there was always a feeling of relativity to at least one character. The N truly made a mistake in saying this show non demographic. It's really disappointing that this gem was scratched off the board before even giving it a decent run. Hopefully this doesn't happen to Degrassi or South of Nowhere. They better come out with a DVD for the series. Good luck to the cast. We miss you guys!BRING THE SHOW BACK!
