North Shore is an American prime-time soap opera that aired on Fox every Monday at 8 p.m. EST for seven months in 2004 and 2005. It centered around the staff and guests of the fictional Grand Waimea Hotel and Resort on Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii. From Fox's website: 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 . Critical reviews tended towards the... low scale, with most critics acknowledging that North Shore was not meant to be high-brow theater: Probably the most glaring issue of this topic is the largely white cast. While Asians are the majority of the population of Hawaii, and whites are lower than 33%, there was only one major character of Asian ancestry in the cast. Various articles have been written about this omission, making it obvious that both viewers and non-viewers had taken note of this.
