Judging from the pilot, which I watched last night...

...I have to say "North Shore" is a wonderful show, despite all the criticism it's getting for being a "Baywatch/O.C. ripoff". It is far from that. It's a step up from the "woe is me" lines the "O.C." actors feed each other, and the unrealistic plots of "Baywatch". All the actors are a delight to watch, especially Kristoffer Polaha and Nikki Deloach. I actually remember Deloach from her Mouseketeer days, but I never realized just how much acting ability she had until I watched last night's episode. She and the rest of the actors on the show are quite excellent, especially the main actor, the attractive Polaha. I'm definitely tuning in every Monday.
