Malibu Shores


Malibu Shores is an American primetime teen drama/soap opera that aired on Saturday Night at 8:00PM EST from March to June 1996 for ten episodes on NBC. Created by Aaron Spelling and starring Keri Russell and Tony Lucca, the program followed the exploits of Southern California teens.

Plot

The show revolves around two different lifestyles that clashed repeatedly. On one side of the tracks was the wealthy Malibu crowd, and on the other was the more working-class gang of "the Valley". When Zack from the Valley meets Chloe from the Malibu beachfront, they fall in love; but no one thinks it is a good idea but the two of them. After their "love-at-first-sight" meeting, Zach is transferred to Chloe's school along with his friends. The remainder of the episodes dealt with the clashing of the two groups.

Cancellation

Malibu Shores debuted as a midseason replacement and was initially picked up for six episodes. Scheduled on Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., the series drew low ratings and was canceled within one season.
