mine is not excactly a review, it is more of a question, trying to figure out a song that was played on either the pilot or first episode.

I really liked this show too! what irks me so bad, after all these years is that I remember that one song from either the pilot or the first episode that is ALWAYS stuck in my head! It\'s playing as the blonde was pouring wine on a guy\'s chest. if you know the song, PLEASE TELL ME! IT\'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!

- There is no interracial characters in the show except Vince. They were forced and pressured to cast a black person on the show, which turned out to be Vince. The media pressured them to have at least an black person in a stero typed "white" tv show (a la Dawson's Creek, or Friends). Most networks went into a frenzy and added black people in their shows fearing that they organization would boycott some shows. What's interesting is that Wes Craven had hinted/told Kevin Williamson to write something about you know in Scream 2, about "white movie" and show on. Needless to say, on Kevin Williamson's other show, Glory Days, they return to a call white cast. Edit
