When it comes to throwback WB dramas, there are a few that were so generationally great, they broke out of their teen-show confines and permeated the larger pop-culture consciousness: "Dawson's Creek," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Gilmore Girls" and what have you. But back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the so-called "Frog Network" was churning out so many series, particularly for the YA demographic, that some of those titles have seemingly been lost to time. And "Roswell" is one of them."
Airing on The WB for its first two seasons from 1999 to 2001 before it moved to UPN for its third and final installment, "Roswell" is a Jason Katims-created adaptation of the "Roswell" High book series by Melinda Metz, centered on a "Romeo & Juliet"-esque tale between normal New Mexico teen Liz Parker (played by Shiri Appleby) and the mysterious Max Evans (Jason Behr), who just happens to be an extraterrestrial who survived the 1947 UFO crash in the titular town.
