Talking New Show sorta like FOL!!!!!!!

BOARDING SCHOOL

The "BS" in question is the Fisk Academy, a small girl’s boarding school in the woods of Vermont. It’s a place where most of the learning doesn’t take place in the classroom. The action centers on the four residents of Maple House. Away from parents and watched over only by their housemother Hope, who is perpetually on the verge of an emotional collapse, these fifteen year-old girls are forced to make their own rules and grow themselves up.

There's Pepper, the former Olympic gymnast who after years of Olympic training is determined to taste life (which is why she’s packed on forty pounds since the games in Sydney), Shannon (Megalyn Echikunwoke), the cynical, authority resisting wild girl who’s already been kicked out of eight boarding schools. Dana, who is searching to find her true self - a lapsed vegetarian, now and aspiring lesbian, next year who knows? And Andy (Christy Carlson Romano), the most centered and mature of the girls, who on her first day at school ends up accidentally making out with her history teacher. This ain't no "Facts Of Life", kids.

Rounding out this twisted world is Steven (Eddie McClintock), the aforementioned twenty-four year-old history teacher who finds himself falling for one of his students. Then there's the school’s seventeen year-old groundskeeper, known only as “The Shovel and Rake Guy” (Sam Horrigan). How would you like to be the only available guy within miles? It’s nice to be him. And finally, Dr. Fisk, the headmaster of the school, whose only goal in life is to play golf and keep his girls out of jail.

Fisk Academy is a wild, raucous world where anything can happen. And that’s no B.S......



Watch BOARDING SCHOOL - coming soon to FOX!

'Cause it can fall as hard as it wants to
Gingerly drip down a lover’s face
Cry for hours and weeks on end
And never feel a bit out of place
And it can feed a field, put out a fire
And never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
I wish I were the rain
Oh Yeah, I wish I were the rain

I found it on a website and i copied and pasted it. It was on a TV Tickets website I found and it hasn't even started filming yet so I have no clue when it will even air. I'll post the site up later when i have more time.

They think that they can get our minds off of FOL by putting on a show LIKE FOL. But they are SOOOOO wrong.

And Christy, I know her from ES and Cadet Kelly!!!!

Yeah, I agree. That show does kinda sound like FOL, only the charecters are different. And umm, Christy Carlson Romano, isn't that Ren from Even Stevens? The name sounds familiar... *shrugs*
