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]
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]
The film is Timothy Woodward Jr.'s debut in the industry.[10]
