Ghostwriter (1992–1995)
Great potential
6 July 2003
When I was younger, "Ghostwriter" was the best show on television. I watched it faithfully every Sunday afternoon on PBS. Looking back on it now, some ten years later, I've realized that some of the shows are outdated and others had certain "innuendos."

I absolutely loved how the creator captured the diversity of the group and how it reflected NYC culture. The kids were very intelligent and insightful. Contrary to popular belief, kids are that deep at that age. I grew up right along with the "GW Team." It was a nice side track from "Degrassi High," which became a little too serious.

Anywho, what I'm starting to catch now are the little innuendos I never thought to see ten years ago. For example, "Building Bridges" (the one with Victor) definitely had some homosexual characteristics. "To Catch a Creep" deals with loneliness and racial tension. Some of these issues are still pertinent in today's society, but others were just a little hokey.
