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.

This was such a great show on the WB. The intricate and fun story script and the excellent acting made the show worth keeping. I watched this show from beginning to end. 10 times better than any Dawson's Creek drama. Too bad they didn't continue...I would have definitely watched.

A pathetic teenage Dynasty set in what looks like the "Dawson's Creek" throw away sets. This show was a travesty at best and the Title was stolen from a talented yet to be WGA writer named Marcus Le Bov. As soon as the show was picked up for nine. Writer (Le Bov) was elbowed out of the mix by Steve Antin. Pretty sad but if you look at Antin's body of work as a writer sad is the optimal word...

What a great TV show. Thank God this is not "Beverly Hills 90210" and not "Dawsons Creek". It is more serious, romantic, warm-hearted, told with humor and without any stereotypes. Good actors like Ed Quinn who plays a great teacher called Mr. Finn and good stories make "Young Americans" a lot better than usual Teenie-Soaps. The first three episodes have the sensitive songs of Nick Drake in the background. Unfortunately this great show ended after 8 episodes. A TV series that talks about Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman seems a bit too intellectual for a Teenie-show. I wish that one day the producers and the audience will find out how good it was and will continue with the stories.
