FOX: North Shore/ Athens

 

When North Shore competes its summer/early fall run it will be replaced with Athens, a show from the creator of The OC. Athens is the home of one of the most prestigious (fictional) colleges in the country. The show follows the town's inhabitants and the line that seperates the rich students that attend the school, and the townies who serve them. If it's early reviews and buzz is any indication it's another sure fire hit for FOX. (no cast announced for Athens yet)

A 16-year-old boy's dream comes true when he becomes a man in a world of overgrown boys and takes a job as a batboy for a professional baseball team. For the first time, Pete Young  takes a risk--perhaps the only risk of his young life--when he applies for and lands his dream job as a batboy for the New York Empires. The problem is his single mom, Lynne, has no idea what he's up to. Until now, he's been the golden boy while his rebellious older sister, Betsy, has always been in the doghouse. On the job, Pete becomes a part of a new family that includes Conrad Dean, the team's captain and Pete's idol, who takes on the role of an older brother. Also in the clubhouse is his boss, Lou Russo, a gruff but fair equipment manager who becomes a much-needed father figure; Rich, a fellow batboy who just happens to be the general manager's nephew; Carlos Tavares, a rookie who believes that Pete is his good luck charm, and Jose Marquez, the Empire's territorial head batboy. Pete is over the moon at being a member of his favorite team, but he must still balance life at home and life in the big leagues as he faces the moral dilemmas and curve balls that life throws his way.
