Palmetto Pointe is an American teen drama television series that debuted during PAX-TV's [2] transition to i: Independent Television. [3] The series first aired on August 28, 2005, [4] [5] with its last episode airing on October 16, 2005. [6] It was the first television series shot on location in Charleston, South Carolina, [1] where the series was set.

The series was presented as a teen drama. [7]

Overview

The program had a sponsorship deal with Cheerwine, whose soft drinks were shown onscreen in every episode. It was cancelled due to viewership so low that it "barely registered". [1]

Palmetto Pointe was a creative and financial failure, marred by poor production values. It was also derided by some of its few viewers as a clone of both Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill , series which shot in Wilmington, North Carolina and established that city's reputation as a filming location. Seven episodes of the series were produced, but only five aired. It ended in bankruptcy, with the cast and crew failing to receive their final paychecks. [1] [8]
