A brilliant film that helped define a genre

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I was 12years when I first saw Swans Crossing. My friends and I would race home after school, grab some snacks and tune in. We would perform the theme song and clown around during the commercial breaks. Fun! I think about Swans Crossing and I get so angry with the networks for canceling such an amazing show with such huge potential. Nowadays we are bombarded with skanky shows like "The O.C" and so forth. Its a shame... At least release it to DVD with the extras that never premiered. My goodness! The theme popped into my head and I couldn't stop thinking about it a couple years ago. I was fortunate enough to find someone who sells episodes on ebay!!! I have signed petitions for it's release as have family and friends of mine. We are all looking forward to the day they get it together and release it. There is no closure for me... Did Garret leave for Paris, will he and Sydney call a truce, will JT and Glory marry and have kids? Is UB2B going to get off the ground, Will the cops catch the baldies, who is Barek, really, is Sandy and Owen's group a success, are Jimmy and Callie officially together? I'm just a mess after all these years, pathetic, huh? In any event, I have copied DVD's if anybody is interested.... Long live Swans!

I don't even know what made me think of Swan's Crossing recently, but I just had to go on here and see if other people remembered it. I used to LOVE this show. I thought Shane McDermott was the cat's PJs back then. I used to watch it in the mornings before school when I was in jr high. I'm pretty sure I still have the poster I got from one of those geeky teen pin-up magazines packed in a box somewhere. I just couldn't part with it for some reason. I can still remember the party that Mila's mom threw for her where everything was pink and there were pink drinks called "Mila Floats." I remember the bird, Tutu, was singing on a video. I thought Sarah Michelle Gellar was just the coolest and wanted to look exactly like her. I didn't realize that Mira Sorvino was on the show. How funny! I would love to find Swan's Crossing on DVD just for a laugh.

Garrett Booth(Shane McDermott), the conceited, self-absorbed mirror kisser in the dirty dozen of rich Long Island children said it best;"OOOOH, I love myself!"Ooooh, I loved this series. Why did it have to disappear? It was so long ago, about ten years ago, and I still remember the characters like it was Yesterday. Sarah Michelle Gellar was the snooty anti-heroine torn between her love for Garrett and her Mayor Mother's hatred for all Booth males. She told Ralph, her valet, to 'Use your Petals' when he was driving her. Brittany Daniel, the witchy snoot Jessie Wakefield in "Sweet Valley High", was the beautiful angel Mila Rosnowsky. She wanted to fit in, but she had to escape the shadow of her Countess mother and the annoying yet cute cockatoo Tutu. Stacey Moseley was the hard-as-nails heck-cat Callie Walker who didn't take no poopy from nobody. Carise Dahlbo was the sweet Gloria "Glory" Booth, who was spunky and adorable, but always in the wrong place in the wrong time; one instance really got her in a world of trouble. Devin Doherty was Jimmy Clayton, the melancholy love interest of Callie who kept to himself when he wasn't trying to keep Cassie from going too hardcore. Eddie Robinson was genius Neil Atwater, co-creator of the high explosive UB2B. He was a girl-hater and a science lover; both occupations nearly cost him his best bud and his LIFE. Tom Carroll was J.T. Adams, Neil's computer-cranking partner, Glory's love interest and Garrett's "tech-weenie" bully victim. J.T.'s hate for Garrett dominoed into danger for both Neil and Glory. Kristen Mahon played Sandra Swan, the not-as-rich-as-Sidney plain girl used by Garrett to get even with Sidney for an incident that got him in a peck of trouble with all of Swan's Crossing. Alex Tanaka was Bobby Decastro, whose "Saja" personna protected Jimmy and Callie from the great Mumba-Jumba, an evil entity of bad luck. Evan Ferrante was Owen Fowler, a musician and a geek with the hots for Sandy. Last, but never least, was Kristy Barbera, aka the conniving, scandalous Nancy Robbins. She was Sidney's partner in the crime of being snooty and prissy.Swan's Crossing was blessed with crazy characters out the wazoo. From the foreign spies known as the Baldies to the mysterious Berek, who always caught Callie's suspicious eye. From J.T.'s sassy sister to Saja's sophisticated sibling who always wanted to be older than she was. And lets not forget the bird. With wacky plot twists, mature storylines and that awesome dozen that starred in the show, Swan's Crossing would have been on today if not for ninnies who didn't know a good thing when they saw it. I was so honored to have met Sarah and her friends Carise, Eddie, Devin, Stacy, and Brittany while they were at Toys-R-Us that 1992 day. Carise's mom was nice, too. Great show. Great cast. I'll never forget the zaniness of that show. Especially not Sidney Rutledge and Garrett Booth. OOOOH, I loved that show!

It kills me that I even remember this show, but alas I do. Anyway, it must be said that besides the Buffer, Sarah Michelle Geller. We must recognize that Mira Sorvino. She is now a huge star that got her start on the small screen in our own Swan's Crossing. Big props to Mira.
