Roswell/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: The show was based on a series of Young Adult novels called Roswell High.
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: Max/Tess, Isobel/Michael.
 * Hollywood Homely: Would three kids looking like that really go unnoticed at a high school that long? Only if they're on a teen drama, where  everybody  everyone who gets Character Focus looks that good.
 * The Scrappy: The characters each took turns.
 * Tess, Michael, and Maria are the most widely disliked, but for different reasons.
 * Shocking Swerve: In an utterly bizarre turn, the show introduced a character as their new math teacher, who raised Liz's suspicions by getting a simple mathematical concept wrong and being strangely inquisitive. Eventually it was revealed that she's not really a teacher, she's actually a .... guidance counselor? What. Why would their guidance counselor be impersonating a teacher?
