In it's brief run it naturally focused mostly on plots dealing with gender differences & discrepancies as well as some more typical Boarding School and teen-angst-type drama. Despite garnering a decent reception, only 8 episodes ended up getting shot and only six aired in the US (although Canada and other countries aired all eight), just one in the long line of Fox shows at the time to almost instantly get the ax.
