I was in high school when this show came out & I loved it. I love the music. It was always in the shadow of SBTB. NBC did not invest enough in differentiating this & other shows from SBTB. I think they are more real about teen issues. They were ethnically diverse. They even had an episode about social inequalities. There were even shows about broken families. I loved the music. The characters were less full of themselves and had distinctive personalities. None of them were the ultra popular high school kids. I love almost every single song they played. I love music. This may be one of the reasons I like this show so much. The series is on YouTube. Season 5 is poor quality though. I think there are finally box sets with all 5 seasons. Only seasons 1-4 were available for the longest time.
