Nickelodeon made a big mistake in canceling this wonderful teen-targeted (but family-friendly) drama. It's amazing how many stupid shows are on Nickelodeon's schedule today; this was one of the last good programs ever aired by Nickelodeon. Rarely is there objectionable content on this program; one episode from the first season had blood in it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Caitlin's Way
Parents need to know that this family-friendly drama, which originally aired in Canada from 2000-2002, centers on a troubled teen foster child. Although the series was positioned as a teen drama, it's definitely on the mild side (especially compared to more current shows like Gossip Girl) and has plenty of strong messages about family, friendship, and making positive choices. But it does tackle some serious subjects, like juvenile delinquency and the death of a parent.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how teen dramas have changed over the years. Do you think the edgier content in current shows reflects how teens have changed over the years, or is it simply a reflection of the media industry? Do all of today's shows have more mature content, or are some OK for younger viewers? Families can also discuss what life can be like for a foster child. Why do kids end up in foster care? What are some of the challenges that foster children face on a daily basis?
