This has to be one of the most outrages funny show on TV ever. I mean it couldn't be funnier. The story line about Marcy never having an orgasm was so funny and Quentin's herpes. It's such a shame that they cancelled it. I think the Spellings were offended. They had the best guest stars, Kristen Davis, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elizabeth Berkeley, Jason Priestly as the guy sex addicted anonymous. I loved Hunter, she was just a brilliant actress, and she used it. Great show, if you ever get the chance check it out.
I wrote a review of this show after the series premiere saying it was pretty funny. "Grosse Pointe" has made it's place on my weekly watchin' list. It is absolutely friggin' hilarious. Most of the actors on the show do not have much of a resume, but they are all extremely talented and this show should make their careers take off. The show can successfully mix in drama, something I was hesitant to see, but was surprised. Lindsay Sloane is an excellent actress, and is the stand out. Irene Malloy is also very funny. This show has great dialogue, and is very witty, something I can't get enough of (That's one of the main reasons I watch 'Popular'). It has managed to stay on the air so far, but with a sucky time slot that I can't seem to remember. The WB doesn't seem to realize what a gem it has on its hands, it'll give 'Jack and Jill' a good time slot AND a second chance, even though it does not deserve it in the least. "Grosse Pointe' is up there with "Buffy" and "Popular". Watch now before they cancel this show.
I am 38 years old who truly has hated all the old teeny bopper soap operas that have been on TV for too long - so a show that pokes fun at them is right up my alley! Grosse Pointe really knows how to stick it to the powers that be with this show. The show within a show idea and having older actors playing teenagers is really hilarious - plus - talk about eye candy! That these people can walk and talk at the same time is a miracle! The women are just too pretty and the men are just too buff. The dialogue is great and the delivery is appropriately wacky and often deadpan. You've just got to see this show to appreciate it!
Please do not cancel this show!!!!! This is one of the brightest spots in an otherwise doldrum wasteland.

I don't remember a lot about it except for a pinball game where one of the characters was supposed to be pregnant and when the pinball went through "Stone I'm having your baby" and how cute Dave the stand in was
I remember watching it and enjoying the theme song a lot and how it ended so soon. If there is anything ready for a reboot I think it would be this series. It truly had a lot of early 90s soap opera esque references to Beverly Hills 90210 and I believe the creator actually worked on that show so it doesn't seem too far off
I'm looking forward to watching this with new eyes (I was a teenager when this show came out)

So far "Grosse Pointe" seems to be one of those yet undiscovered treasures on television today. This sitcom has it all--a beautiful and funny cast, clever writing, romance, and hilarious comedy. How could you go wrong by watching it?
I personally love the character named Hunter (the one you love to hate). She gives Karen on "Will & Grace" a run for her money as the biggest sitcom diva out there right now.
Dave and Marcy also make the show a lot of fun with their sweet-natured characters. I really enjoy the episodes that center around these two's star-crossed situation.
Do yourself a favor and check out the best kept secret on primetime television. This show often seems even better than the shows that it parodies. If you like "Dawson's Creek," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Melrose Place," "90210," or "Felicity," then you will LOVE "Grosse Pointe."

Hunter Fallow: I think Johnny's really in love. Either that or he's got a surfboard in his shorts.
- Alternate versionsThe pilot episode was altered at the request of Darren Star's former boss, Aaron Spelling. Originally the character of Marcy, played by Lindsay Sloane, was a bulimic redhead who got her job because her uncle was a studio executive. Spelling took offense and thought that it was a reference to his daughter Tori Spelling, who was co-starring on "Beverly Hills, 90210" a series created by Darren Star and produced by Aaron Spelling. Before the pilot aired, Star took out all references to how Marcy got her job and a scene in which Marcy threw up in a limo; he even digitally altered her hair color to be brown. Joely Fisher, who played producer Hope Lustig, was originally credited in the opening titles but removed after the first episode when she decided to leave the show to work on "Normal, Ohio" a sitcom which was canceled. She was billed in four other episodes of "Grosse Pointe" as a Special Guest Star.
