This was an excellent show. I don't know why it did bad in the ratings. Maybe there was some sort of mix up. I was very disappointed when they cancelled it. But they can at least release it on DVD to make up for ripping out our hearts when they took it off they air.I think the acting was great. Kate Moennig did a wonderful job in her challenging role.I love Ian Somerhalder. One of the main reasons I became interested in Lost was because I saw that he was going to be in it and I remembered him from this show.Young Americans was the kind of show that made you feel something. It had a way of awakening you. I would love for them to bring it back. But unfortunately that is very unlikely to happen.If they do ever release this show on DVD, I recommend that you get it. Especially if you've never seen it before. Then you can see what I'm talking about.

I loved this series it is so sad that they didn't make another season of it. It had something else than other series it was great to see something else. I would love to have this series on DVD, does anybody now where to get it. and the soundtrack to. I love the drama about Jake and Hamilton, the idea is great and different to anything else i have seen. it makes also some fun when they are trying to hide their affair so that the others don't find out that their having one. I would love if they made one more season and i think there are others who would love it to i haven't found a series since that i loved so much, i don't even loved Beverly Hills that much anymore since i saw Young Americans!!

"Young Americans" was my favorite TV show mini series of all time. Each of the characters were interesting and developed very natural and I became a fan within the first fifteen minutes of the first episode.Each episode of the series, which was set at a boy's college, contained some very positive lessons that were thoughtfully presented by the Professor Finn so as not to 'preach'.Over the course of the 8 episodes that aired we became intimately involved in the lives of these people and became involved with them.The WB Network really did not thoughtfully give this series a fighting chance, there were weeks when the show did not air in it's set time slot, which I believe is a must, if you want to develop an audience, and it was almost impossible to find out when it was going to be on, unless you watched The WB 24 hours a day and were lucky enough to catch the one or two promos for the next airing.Unfortunately we will never know what happened in the interwoven lives of these characters because it was cancelled after only 8 sporadic episodes.It would be nice if WB would put it out on DVD, as far as the music rights, the music was promoted on each episode, and if any of it is still available today, I would think the artists and labels (much of which was WB Records) should welcome the new publicity.

I first heard about this show back in 2000 because of Rodney Scott and his guest appearance at Dawson's Creek. I am not a fan of Dawson's Creek, but there were a lot of articles on Seventeen/YM/Teen on this "summer series" and articles related to the show and DC, and so I got intrigued when they finally aired it in here. It was fresh, funny and extremely interesting. But I didn't know that it suddenly got canceled without WB finishing the story. After seeing the 8th episode I thought, "Well, I hope they air the next season!" To my dismay, there was no next season. ARGH. Agonies of life. If they were going to cancel it, at least close the story! Open endings suck.Anyway, this is a really unique show. The characters are interesting, although the only storyline I'm REALLY interested is Jake and Hamilton's story.It's such a shame that we'll never know what happened to Jake and Hamilton, Scout and Bella and the dramatic life of Will Krudski. Please make a DVD!
