[The Fifth Element]

Well I thought sure this show had its own thread, but I did a search and came up empty-handed, so...fans of the show, should you still be alive and well? Raise your hands if you would so that I may dispense the free noise-makers and party hats. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What's your favorite ep and why?

[Ruby_Slippers]

Hell yeah!

The good shows are always canceled.

It was on so long ago, I don’t even know if I remember the episodes. But I liked Shelby and Scott? If that was his name.

My fave was the season finale.

[TheAngel]

I loved Higher Ground and was so mad when the canceled it. It was a great show. I liked all the episodes but my favorite one was probably where they were putting on Romeo and Juliet. I think that was the one where Shelby went back home. It was a good one. I wish I still had them on tape.

[The Fifth Element]

They're re-airing the original 2000 season on a channel called WAM -- I believe it's a subsidy channel of the Starz or Encore package, so you should probably get those first. It's been great seeing my favorite show again. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My fave episode was actually "Seductions", just 'cause it was when Scott and Shelby got together before all the drama of her past was an issue. Next one after that would be "Close Encounters", just because it was still when S/S were "happy" and very adorable. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img]

Oh My God! I used to love love love this show. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I even have a few episodes on tape somewhere. I have to say I wasn't as huge a fan of the S/S relationship as a lot of people seem to be. In my mind they started to take over the show toward the end....but, I still loved them and all the other characters.

My favorite episode? I can't remember the name, but it was the two parter were Ezra ODed, Jules and Auggie ran away, and Shelby didn't want to meet Scott because she feared what he would think if she told him the truth.

[AsnoCaliente]

Squeeee! A Higher Ground thread! Thanks for starting this, Janine. [img]smilies/hug.gif[/img]

My favorite ep was without a doubt, Seductions. That was the first time Scott and Shelby started opening up to each other and realizing how much they have in common. The actors did a superb job in this ep.

[pacifierrocks]

Oooh, i loved this show!!! I think my favorite episode is either the one where shelby goes home or the season finale.

[The Fifth Element]

Yay! More HG fans! [img]smilies/blinkie.gif[/img] I seriously can't get enough of this show, it's such good times. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img]

[Purity85]

SQQUUEEEEEEEE! [img]smilies/glow.gif[/img]
I find myself thanking The Fifth Element again for bringing Higher Ground on to FanForum. So thank you! [img]smilies/clap.gif[/img]

I'm Kate, thought I'd introduce myself to my fellow Higher Ground fans. [img]smilies/glow.gif[/img]

I haven't seen all the episodes yet but I would have to go with Seductions and Exposed. I only caught a few of them when they were on the first time. But it was in those episodes that I realized that Hayden Christension and AJ Cook were really some great actors. They were so young, but promising so much in the last scene of Exposed.

[img]smilies/star.gif[/img]A few other questions for ya'll-
Who's your favorite character?
Who's your favorite couple?
What's your favorite line?

[AsnoCaliente]

Hola, Kate! [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img]

To answer your questions...

[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Who's your favorite character?

Definitely Shelby because she was so multi-faceted. There were enough layers to her character to intrigue me, but not so many that they confused me. There were certain sides of her personality that we would just see peeks of, and that's what made her so fascinating to me.

[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Who's your favorite couple?

Scott/Shelby, which actually surprised me because I so rarely ship CC, and almost never ship the "main" couple. But the story between these two was just so unique and so well acted that I couldn't resist. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] What's your favorite line?

I loved this exchange:

Frank: Daisy.
Daisy: Bite me.
Mrs. Lipenowski: Dais'!
Daisy: You too.

[img]smilies/rotfl.gif[/img] Classic Daisy.

Yeah! Other Higher Ground fans! HG was the first show I ever became obsessed with. I have a few eps on tape, but I wish I had them all! My fave character was Juliette, fave couple Juliette and Auggie, and I loved the ep where they ran away together. Fav line? I pretty much thought everything Daisy said was funny; or Shelby's sarcasm was pretty hilarious.

Mine to! But, it seems most people either don't like her or the couple. You hardly ever see fanfic about those two.

[cryurname]

Well, I do love her and that couple. But you are right, most people are not Juliette fans. Oh well. I like to stand out. LOL. I should right a fan-fic about her and Auggie...that would be fun.....

Is "Higher Ground" available on DVD? I saw the last few episodes, but did not see the beginning.

No. Sadly, they aren't. However, the show plays on WAM! everyday and on the MoviePlex channel every Sunday, when WAM! is the channel.
