    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The producers didn't know the show was going to get canceled. In fact, they claim that the WB executives told them to do cliffhangers, and they did, figuring that they wouldn't be canceled, and had several storylines planned for a third season. Alas, that didn't realize.
    • Goofs
      Throughout out the series, it's clear that the actors/actresses portraying teenagers are actually in their 20s+. This is done as to not interfere with the schooling of real teenagers and to give the general viewing audience who are teenagers themselves someone they can look up to.
    • Quotes
      • Samantha 'Sam' McPherson: You know what, Brooke? Cancel my subscription, I'm over your issues.
    • Alternate versions
      Due to licensing costs, some of the songs originally featured on the soundtrack of several episodes have been replaced by less expensive tracks (or no tracks at all) on the DVD release.
