Best High School TV Show

Frankie Goes to High School

Mad props go to the Austin Music Network for closing the generation gap on public/community television. AMN offers a place on the tube for what real teens in Austin are really paying attention to, as welcome relief from the typical teen music programming inundation of VJs and cute boy bands. Plus, this innovative show features its very own high school host. Frankie actually graduated last May, so look for new host Samantha and fellow students from McCallum High in Hi-Fi High School, beginning Oct. 1. Word to the wise for you middle school musicians: Practice up! If you're lucky (and if Austin is smart enough to keep this cool channel) there will already be a place for you to showcase your talent by the time you become a freshman.
