Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The WB buried this on Thursday nights against 'Friends' and 'Survivor,' essentially a death sentence. It premiered January 24, 2000 and was dead three weeks later.
Creator Mike Goldberg never ran another show; this remains his sole series creation credit. The 'surreal high school' space was later conquered by 'Ned's Declassified' and 'Strangers with Candy.'
