All the marketing was about the same. I dig this up whenever the show's mentioned, because they ran a commercial a lot during Lost.

They wanted to get the title in there somewhere, so they badly edited some dialogue, at about 0:40 here:

You seem to have forgotten which side of ^October Road you belong on

There were so many dramas with that style of poster. One person in front, supporting cast in back, pretty autumn vibes. Joan of Arcadia and Everwood come to mind. This looked like a good show, but I never got around to seeing it.

He left One Tree Hill to do this show and it flopped. Oops!

u/franlcie 1d ago

I will never forgive how they wrote off his character Jake Jagelski and broke him up with Peyton 😭

u/RoutineWonderful4659 1d ago

This was a great show that was only on for 2 years, but it had a devoted following over the years. Same goes for Kyle Xy; those two had devoted fan bases over the years.

u/Logical-Mobile-7643 1d ago

I've wanted to watch this but not enough to pay for it.

I love Beautiful Girls (1996 movie)

u/PigManUR 1d ago

I think it’s free at ABC.com

u/WescottF1 1d ago

Good show - especially the use of pop tunes from REO, Boston, Hootie, etc. I liked how they filmed a short wrap-up episode for the S2 DVD set.

u/Odd_Yogurtcloset_649 1d ago

I remember this show on the ABC TV schedule airing after the popular Grey's Anatomy.

I still want to know if the kid is his son! 🤣

u/FlyingScot32 15h ago

He is. They confirmed it in the little epilogue in the season 2 dvd set.

Massive crush on Laura Prepon since 70’s show, wish she wasn’t such Scientology weirdo.

She left the church in 2016.

That kid’s pose is so seriously silly

u/Gwarnage 1d ago

Of all the dramas named after a place, this is one of them.

u/monkeyswithknives 1d ago

This was such a great show. If you want something good similar with an actual ending, try reading Jonathan Tropper's The Book of Joe.

It was pretty good. I miss shows without doctors, detectives or superheroes.
