Hi, I was a cameraman on "Fifteen" during it's second season, done in Ottawa at CJOH-TV (Ist season-Vancouver, last 2-Orlando); recently found a cast/crew photo which motivated me to look it up on IMDb. Both 15 and You Can't Do That On Television were produced there at the same time, but never on the same days, so I don't think that was where Ryan and Alanis 1st met, but it's a small world after all. We did the whole season's episodes in a few weeks, cramming several sets, along with cameras, booms, etc. into a relatively small space, circumstances which I think might explain the shortcomings in production value, but I'll argue that the cast often did exemplary work in light of their ages and experience at the time. Ryan and Laura's success is no surprise. Anyway, we did crank them out like sausages, but it was a fun show to work and the kids were great.

Fifteen deals with everyday teenager problems. From drinking to bullying. I also agree that there should have been a few more characters since it was mostly at school. Please let me know if you are ever going to show it again. I will record it next time so I can always cherish the show.
... View MoreThis show had the WORST acting and the worst scripts I've ever seen or heard.. I actually watched it once when I was a teen, but I couldn't sit through more than one episode(I think there was a marathon of the show on that day) I wonder how many people slit their wrists that day??? This show made "Saved by the Bell" and "Parker Lewis can't lose" seem realistic.. I hope I never find it on T.V again!
... View Morethis is easily one of the finest shows ever to hit the satelites of the world. I love the deep plots and the great sets. The acting was at great and Brook was hot hot hot!!!!! And she was the best character on the show except for the guy that got drunk all the time he was pretty cool too. Nick needs to bring this show back!!!!!!!
