Alyssa Luvs Sean
Theme song; none
Category; Sit-com (coming of age, High School)
Production Company; Salter Street Productions /and/ DreamWorks Television
Running time; 30 minutes

Paul Feig
~series synopsis~
From the creative teams behind Liberty's "E.K." and NBC's "Freaks and Geeks" comes an enduring coming of age high school love story with the reality of the awkwardness and clumsiness of true relationships, not the music driven MTV glamorous 25 year old hard bodies playing high school kids kind of show. In fact although the show has a musical backdrop music is not used at all unless it is actually being played in the show. Even the theme song is devoid of music, instead being filled with the hallway noises of high school.
Alyssa is an exceptional straight A's scholar and an extraordinary musician. She is a go getter, involved in band, choir, debate, etc, who was once seen as a slightly overweight, non-athletic music geek, but thanks to some maturity by her part as well as the other students, and the popularity of such shows as Glee and Pitch Perfect, is now fairly close to universally loved by most of her school. All this despite only being a Sophomore.
Sean on the other hand is a slacker, an enigma, a weirdo maybe, voted most likely to "go postal" by his peers. However, Sean also has an extraordinary ability to see through and inside people's thought and emotions. While Alyssa has a fantastic IQ that makes her a genius, Sean has an EQ (Emotional Quotient) that makes him interesting to those who he allows to get close. Sean comes from a lineage of gypsies, his own Grandmother once being a renown palm and fortune reader.
An unlikely pair find their friendship turn into love. What would seem like a recipe for disaster continues to endure because Sean is secure enough in his non-activity to allow Alyssa to flourish and encourage her instead of trying to bring her down. This level of encouragement is needed by Alyssa because only Sean and her music teacher Mr. Bernard show that level of care in her life. On the other hand Alyssa just enjoys Sean's company and doesn't push him to have more active interests. Outside of each other Alyssa's best friend is her fellow musician Parker, who also runs track and is quite popular. Everyone except Alyssa, Sean, and Parker are convinced that Alyssa will end up with Parker and not Sean. On the other hand other than Alyssa the only close friend that Sean has is Bernie "Top Gun" Richards whose dream of being a fighter pilot and his simple straightforward nature seems to click with Sean.
Follow this pair of dreamers and their enigmatic love as they try and navigate their way through the final 2 years of high school and all the pit falls and obstacles along the way.
