What is your favorite teenage drama show? - Page 2

None of those appeal to me, other than maybe Riverdale. My brother loves the O.C. though.

I liked what I have seen of Smallville. Also, Once Upon A Time is good. Buffy is something I would like to watch too. I guess they would be considered 'teen drama' with a superhero, fantasy, or horror premise. Overall, though, I am fed up of network TV with 22 episode seasons. There's so much good stuff on streaming and Blu Ray from the likes of HBO and Apple that it makes it hard to justify watching more cookie cutter stuff. There's so many brilliant live-action shows and miniseries from all around the world, and anime stuff too.

Three shows I would like to watch (or have watched) that are network are Agents of SHIELD, Gotham and Babylon 5. There will be more but those stand out. Like I say though in the days of tighter storytelling, it is hard to justify watching such long seasons. Some of those listed seem like the American versions of Eastenders or Emmerdale.

Not just the kids lol the show as a whole. After awhile it because just like all the rest, completely lost its uniqueness. That’s not to say I didn’t still enjoy it. It was hard because it’s a good list, but 7th Heaven is definetely my fave of them all.

It was insane how deep they went with the shooting, stabbing, rape arcs in the show. Real life stuff that happens in school. Plus the character acting in the show was pretty good for what it was.

Oh yes forgot this classic gem. The old school eps definetely had their fare share of omg moments. It was early on when they series first discussed teen pregnancy and suicide

Don't seem to see my personal faves. I liked "Roswell" and "Clarissa Explains It All" the best. But out of the list, it's a toss up between "Boy Meets World" and "Saved By The Bell."
