This is in the Oct. 28 – Nov. 3 Issue of TV Guide. The article, “The Truth
\nabout Teen TV” is by Donna Britt and is from a parents point of view. In the
\narticle she starts by saying that for a 40-something Mom she seems to have it
\ngoing on…but if you asked her for an opinion of prime-time TV aimed at
\nyoung people she would be as she put it up Dawson’s Creek. So she checked
\nout about half a dozen or so teen-themed shows. Here’s a quote from the
\narticle as to what she found,
\nToday, teens’ burgeoning disposable incomes have resulted in a slew of
\nprograms and all of the WB aimed at them. Frankly, I expected almost
\nnothing from these shows. So I was amazed to find several that were
\nengrossing, especially ROSWELL, Felicity and NBC’s much lamented Freaks
\nand Geeks. Others failed to meet even my most meager expectations…<\/p>\nI thought this was article was really positive for Roswell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Roswell” has a VERY small mention in an article entitled , “The Truth
\nAbout Teen TV”. PP 48 and 50 and a pic of Jason as Max “The White Room”.
\nVery positive mention from a parental reviewer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThanks to Sasha for this.<\/p>\n
There is a great article called” the truth about teen TV” on pg. 47-48.
\nIt is very flattering to Roswell but not some other WB shows. The article is by Donna Britt.<\/p>\n\nA portion :
\nToday, teens’ burgeoning disposable incomes have resulted in a slew of programs and all of WB targeted just at them. Frankly, I expected almost nothing from these shows. So I was amazed to find several that were engrossing, especially Roswell, Felicity and NBC’s much-lamented Freaks and Geeks (reruns air on the Fox Family Channel) Others failed to meet even my most meager expectations, offering a medley of pumped-up aggression (Buffy and Angel), overabundant sexual references (most shows) and pseudo-sophisticated archness (Popular).<\/p>\nThere is also a picture from Buffy and Roswell (Max in the white room). The caption reads : The author <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
