8. Backstreet Rookie : Some of the controversy was warranted, most it was not. The Rastafari character was unfortunate (flies buzzing around him really stupid and offensive), but the age difference between the leads was nothing out of the ordinary, and FL kissing ML while in high school was misunderstood. It's too bad the controversies dominated the attention, because the leads were great, and it was actually a very clever and funny drama.
