Hidden Stars

I caught the pilot of Hidden Palms, which is a new teen drama from the creator of Dawson’s Creek. The front part of the show is, well, a fairly typical teen drama of the One Tree Hill level of interest. Missing the spark of the first few Dawsons or the what-the-heckedness of The OC, it’s really not something for me.
But lurking behind these oh-so-earnest quirky teens and their dramatic dilemmas are Sharon Lawrence and Gail O’Grady, playing the moms. Sharon Lawrence. Gail O’Grady. It’s like the kids are blocking our view of some good show that lurks behind them.
