''North Shore'' is an American prime-time soap opera that aired on Fox every Monday at 8 p.m. EST (7 p.m. CST) for seven months in 2004 and 2005. It centered on the staff and guests of the fictional Grand Waimea Hotel and Resort (actually the real-life Turtle Bay Resort located near Kahuku, O'ahu) on Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii. From Fox's website: : Intrigue abounds at the Grand Waimea Hotel, an exclusive Hawaiian escape for the wealthy, powerful and beautiful. Hawaiian native Jason Matthews runs the hotel and makes sure every guest gets everything they need. But when former flame Nicole Booth arrives as the hotel's new Director of Guest Relations, Jason's world is turned upside down. But Grand Waimea owner, Vincent Colville, is staying on top of him to make sure his past with Nicole won't affect their work life. ''North Shore'' premiered on June 14, 2004, with a 13-episode commitment from Fox. The show was canceled in January 2005 after a 21-episode, single-season run. The show ended on a cliffhanger, and the final episode of the series has only had a single airing, not being shown in most territories (including America). ==Critical reception== Critical reviews tended towards the low scale, with most critics acknowledging that ''North Shore'' was not meant to be high-brow theater: : "''North Shore'' seems the perfect summer show, a chance to gawk at toned flesh and to smirk over double entendres. () But most of the time, ''North Shore'' plays like a bland hybrid of ''Baywatch'' and ''Hotel''. But ''North Shore'' could last because the people are attractive, the Hawaiian locales are prettier and the competition offers reruns."—''(The Orlando Sentinel )'' : "There's not a lot of deep thinking at this resort, just enough hanky panky to keep things from getting too slow. The danger of this type of drama is if you have to turn off your brain to watch it, you have to remember to turn it back on when it's over." – (''The Salt Lake Tribune'' ) : "''North Shore'' () the new undisputed king of the bad and the beautiful...(show ) has a secret weapon: bathing suits. This show is an excuse to see sexy, half-naked people on your television set once a week. Mute the dialogue and you’ll double your pleasure." – (''The Washington Blade'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Shore (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
