Caitlin's Way (aired in Australia under the title Just a Kid) is a live action teen drama series that aired on Nickelodeon from 2000–2002. The show was co-created by Thomas W. Lynch. It aired on The N from January 25, 2003 to September 27, 2009. It also aired on TeenNick from September 28, 2009 to February 7, 2010.
Caitlin's Way focuses on Caitlin Seeger (played by Lindsay Felton), a troubled girl who lives on the streets of Philadelphia. After being arrested, Caitlin is given the option of going to a youth detention center or living with her mother's cousin in Montana. She chooses the latter; upon moving in with Dori, Jim, and Griffen on their ranch, she experiences culture shock. Caitlin, still distraught about her mother's unexpected death when she was eight, seeks a loving family and a permanent home. The ranch was actually near High River in southeastern Alberta, Canada. There were scenes shot in town (around the many murals, as well as in local schools), and in Calgary where the C-Train was occasionally seen in the background.
In addition to airing on Nickelodeon, the show was also telecast in Canada on YTV. Nickelodeon cancelled the show after ratings fell and the show changed direction. New episodes were shown throughout early 2002. It also aired on CH and on The N. Although it is a Nickelodeon series, Disney Channel aired it in the UK and Ireland.
Caitlin Seeger
Caitlin Seeger is a 14-year-old girl who has been in and out of foster homes since her mother's sudden death when she was eight. Her father had left when she was four. Caitlin, still angry about her mother's death, hides her grief in her tough-girl persona and gets into trouble frequently. She loves photography and is usually seen with her camera which once belonged to her mother. Her dream is to become a professional photographer. After getting in trouble and expelled from her Catholic school, Caitlin is given the option of going to a juvenile detention facility or going to live with her mother's cousin, Dori Lowe (whom Caitlin did not even know existed), her husband Jim and their son Griffen in Montana. Caitlin agrees to go to Montana. While there, she meets and rescues a stallion from wranglers whom she names Bandit. As time goes by, the Lowes and Caitlin learn to accept each other and Caitlin gets what she's always wanted for a long time: a loving family and a permanent home. She loves to read and her best subject in school is English; her worst is math. The locket that Caitlin wears 24/7 is the same locket that her mother used to wear and she is often seen listening to her mini CD player. Caitlin used to play soccer and she associates the sport with her mom because the last time Caitlin played soccer with her best friend was the day that her mom died. Caitlin's favorite color is black.
