This teen comedy/drama series from NBC revolved around Alecia Alcott (played by Alecia Elliott, who was apparently “the Country Britney Spears” for ten minutes in the US at the time) and her closest friends – Italian-American tomboy Cristina Castelli (Alicia Lagano), who was usually called by her last name; wealthy Niki Merrick (Marieh Delfino); and idealist Sierra Jennings (Crystal Grant) – who were all students at Belmont High School in Chicago, Illinois.
Pretty 16-year-old Alecia was a talented singer (with a band called Cool with Me) and songwriter (of rock ballads) and hoped to become a professional singer. She hung out at a teen club called The Loft.
Alecia had been raised in Alabama, where she had a steady boyfriend (at her high school’s Winter Festival, they were voted “Cutest Couple”), but she had yet to find a boyfriend in Chicago.
The show lasted just one season, with each episode following the same format: a moral issue, a song, and a happy ending with a lesson learned.
Critics noted that “If you’re looking for a pathetic example of just how pandering and pointless a teen drama can be, you’d be hard put to find a better example.”
