Opposite Sex

While all the promo spots for this "Sex Comedy" depicted 3 boys having their reign over a school full of girls that seemed to fall at their feet as though they were the oasis they had been looking for, the show itself was quite different.

I turned this on last night expecting to see what every teenage boy might DREAM of: A school full of beautiful women--demanding to have their sexual needs met, and a low supply of boys. Instead, you get a smart comedy that depicts how these girls are a little hostile, a little resistant to change, few are begging for sex, and Jed (the character through which you see most of the action) properly reacts to this strange situation; He feels outcast and lied in a time when every kid wants to be accepted--even though there ARE 300 beautiful women around him.

You can already see where some of the show is going--probably a smarter, funnier, and much more entertaining version of "Saved by the Bell" at it's best, judging by the pairing of 3 female leads with the 3 males in the opening sequence. At it's worst, it could be just another teen-comedy.

Judging by the pilot--I'd be leaning towards the smart and witty side, with a little teen-fantasy thrown in for good measure.

I too have just been watching the entire first series of Opposite Sex and have to say this could've been one of the best new TV series for a long time. The show worked, it was funny and entertaining and even though it was shown between 3 and 5 a.m. I stayed up to see pretty much every episode. It wasn't until I visited this site and checked it out that I realised it only ran for one season. But on the plus side it introduced me to some great young actors e.g. Allison Mack, for whom I will be eagerly looking out for in the future. Every actor fitted into the role perfectly and for that we can be happy.



Happier still if they'd let it run for a while longer.

The series is about the lives and relationships of three boys who go to school in an ex- all girl academy.We see the friends or enemies or even possible lovers they make and how do they get along with the 197 girls and the teachers and their family.I think its an interesting series(some laughs,some cries,some thinking etc.)

From the advertisements I saw for this show it looked like it would just be completely plotless; as if the point of this show was just to attract guys to gawk at all the girls. I decided to watch an episode and I was happy to see there actually was a plot and a good one I might add. I can't wait to see more episodes. However, this does seem like the type of show that would get cancelled soon; I don't think they get too many viewers. But it should be fun while it lasts.

I was really sad when this was cancelled. I enjoyed all of the shows that I got to see, not just because it was funny, but funny without resorting to gross out humor. The humor was innocent, and the storyline depicted what was basically a nice guy getting stuck into what had previously been an all-girls school. This was a great idea and should have supported a wealth of writing, but unfortunately we will never know. One thing that might have helped the show along would have been to switch point of view from week to week (as was done in Northern Exposure). Tell the weeks episode from a different character standpoint, rather than just from that of the main character. It's too bad that Fox gave up so quickly on summer programming because they really came up with some nice, fresh shows and bright young talent.
