South of Nowhere (2005–2008)
You're missing out if you're not watching

I'm so glad that the The-N channel brought back "South of Nowhere" for another season this is just a show that I cheer for! A great story you have the Carlin family who move from a small Ohio town all the way to Los Angeles to start a new life, only to find as always new challenges and problems await, like the overcrowded public school system. Gabrielle Christian a teenage girl who is ambitious, free-spirited and sexy, questioning her own sexuality all the way.

I can also say, that this show seems misplaced on The-N channel. Yes, I know Degrassi is similar to this (maybe even a little bit more risky). It does deal with a mother and father, and their teenagers in their new life, and the concern for safety and love in the city of angels, but there are some touchy situations this show touches base with, such as sexuality. I have no problem with a single part of this show, but the surprise is the channel it airs. Not many people have The-N and I would have liked if it got more exposure. I know it would seem fairly normal on a regular cable TV channel, but The-N is a bit risky. I didn't completely believe it myself, but it's true. The Carlin family meet people who take drugs, lesbians, teenagers who have sex.

I must say I was sick of these television shows set in Los Angeles in an all-white, not overcrowded public school. That's not how it really is! I am all for risk, and to that I can say I hope to see more of this show around. It's a fun show to watch and portrays Los Angeles accurately.
