The WB’s “Roswell.” Sure, lots of other shows this season deal with
\nalienated high school students, but only one boasts actual aliens. Set in
\nthe New Mexico headquarters of all things extraterrestrial, “Roswell” stars
\nShiri Appleby as Liz Parker, whose life changes forever when she’s shot while
\nwaiting tables at the Crashdown Cafe, and Jason Behr as Max Evans, the
\nclassmate whose secret crush on Liz leads him to reveal a much bigger secret.
\nCreator Jason Katims got his start on “My So-Called Life” and if the
\nsweetness of his pilot is eventually matched by the intelligence of that
\nshow, “Roswell,” not “Angel” may turn out to be the Next Big Thing for “Buffy
\nthe Vampire Slayer” fans.<\/p>\n

In a sidebar of new shows, there was this little blurb:<\/p>\n

The teen-agers in this New Mexico town look like all the other teens on the WB (in other words, like beautiful 22-year-olds), but three of them have a secret: They’re from outer space, apparently left behind in the much-rumored 1947 crash of an alien spacecraft in Roswell, N.M. Shouldn’t that make them way too old for the WB’s hip 12-34 demographic? Apparently they’re late bloomers. Worth noting: while other shows just talk about teen alienation, this one does something about it. Extra credit: Tom Hanks’ son Colin plays
\nan earthling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
