5.0 out of 5 stars A love story, September 20, 2008

By	C. Brammer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This series is simply the story of two best friends that fall in love with each other.

Spencer Carlin, a genuinely sweet 16 year old girl, moves from Ohio to LA with her family and finds herself trying to deal with her instant interest in Ashley Davies (A rebellious, rich daughter of a rock star)

The two embark on a realistic journey together that rivals any other love story on film or television. You will find yourself rooting for the pair in every episode leading up to the finale.

Innocent touches, shy glances, head tilts, and flirting, make Season 1 the best of the series.

Oh yeah. There's the token bitchy cheerleader, Madison, to stir up some drama for the should-be/might-be/could-be couple. The adopted black brother to teach us about racial identity. An overbearing mother. A shirtless boy to keep the straight audience happy. And a father any teenage girl would be envious to have.

But when all is said and done, this show is entirely about Spencer and Ashley.

It is too good to be cancelled before it's time. Watch Season 3B on October 10th at 9pm and Save Spashley!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great series, offensive DVD release, October 30, 2008

By	N. Nerode - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

CONSUMER WARNING.

The series is great. The DVD picture quality is also quite good, and it is nice not to have network adverts crawling across the screen.

However, I cannot give a good rating to a DVD set which hacks up the original show. If you're really a fan, you will consider this to be a low-quality, defective release, and you may consider it inferior to off-air copies.

The theme music has been completely replaced with a different song. This should have been noted on the description; yet another case of false advertising in DVDs. The original song is, of course, much more appropriate and better.

There may be other unidentified cuts and alterations, as the series used a lot of rather expensive music.

The versions on Amazon Unbox and iTunes have the same cuts.

The DVDs have several mastering errors; the "choose episode" option simply doesn't work.

3.0 out of 5 stars this is the time to fly (DVD review), October 11, 2008

By	J. T. Sheldon (Beaver County, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

at first i was afraid to buy this dvd set because of some of the reviews, including the one talking about how they changed the theme song. but overall, i'm glad i bought seasons 1 and 2 of south of nowhere. while the origonal theme song by the donna's WAS better suited, and despite how much i hate to say this... i love the new theme. *waits for people to groan* the first time i heard it i was like "ew" but then as time went on i fell in love with it, singing along and making my mom give me weird looks :P

there are no special feautures on either season 1 and 2, but i didn't think SoN was going to ever be released on dvd, so the fact that is IS and that all the episodes are here, well, that's good enough for me. they just better release season 3, too, or i'm gonna be pissed.

P.S. - (season 2's theme is the same, "wasted" by L.P.)
