Synopsis

Grosse Pointe is an American television parody series which aired on the WB Network during the 2000–2001 television season. Created by Darren Star, it was a satire depicting the behind-the-scenes drama on the set of a television show, and was inspired in large part by Star's experiences as the creator and producer of the nighttime soap Beverly Hills, 90210.

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
icehole4 Pretentiously angst-ridden teenager shows have always taken themselves way too seriously - and that leaves them open to a parody. Grosse Point delivered such a masterful send-up of life on and off one of these TV shows. The characters were well-crafted, and played by people who were very talented. They were based on real people in teen angst shows. Hunter Fallow, the kleptomaniac prima donna was loosely based on Shannon Daughtery; Quinton King, the sex addict was loosely based on Jason Priestly; Courtney Scott, the clueless ditzy blonde was loosely based on Courtney Thorne-Smith. Funniest of them all was Dave the stand-in, who had to take on the most stupidest of jobs for pay (such as being in the Michigan J. Frog costume for a party in one episode.)It lasted too short a time to really get a good following. I'm sure that if WB had treated it like NBC treated Cheers (in Cheers' first season, it was the lowest rated show in its time slot) Grosse Pointe would still be around today.
gparlett A great series killed by a bad time slot, Grosse Pointe skewered the WB's teeny bopper comedies(Dawson's Creek, et al) and yet was still a great teeny bopper comedy itself. Featured a great cast who has generally gone on to do other offbeat and brilliant projects (perhaps most notably Irene Malloy's starring role in Andy Richter Controls the Universe and Lindsay Sloane's brilliant one off on Greg the Bunny). Hopefully both seasons will be released on DVD someday.
MarMitch I live in London, England and they have recently started televising Grosse Pointe. I think it's funny. Unfortunately, today (14-Nov-01) I found out the show has been canceled. That's too bad, I think it's a scream. On the show within the show Grosse Pointe is supposed to be funny and the actors bad, unlike 90210 where the show was funny and the actors were bad and we weren't supposed to notice, I guess. I love the character Marcy, she is such a Tori. The whole thing is a hoot!
applehuntr 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.
