Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High is an American Live-action comedy-drama series very loosely based on Francine Pascal's book series of the same name. The series ran from September 5, 1994 to October 14, 1997, and was produced (and distributed) by Saban Entertainment. The rights are now held by Disney-ABC Domestic Television.
After three seasons in syndication (mostly on Fox stations), the show moved to UPN for its fourth season, where it was canceled due to low ratings.
The series revolves around the lives of Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, beautiful blonde twins who live in the fictitious Sweet Valley, California, and their gang of friends. Elizabeth is warm, friendly and sincere, while her twin sister Jessica is flirty, mischievous, and irresponsible.
In 1995, a soundtrack album was released featuring original songs that were in the series along with a longer version of the show's theme song.
In 1996, two Sweet Valley High VHS tapes were released by Warner Home Video: 'Kidnapped' and 'Dangerous Love', which featured exclusive music videos based off the songs featured in the TV series.
However, to date, Buena Vista Home Entertainment has only released the first season of Sweet Valley High on DVD in Region 1.
A DVD release of Season two was also planned, with an old promotional trailer being posted online recently, however this release was scrapped due to unknown reasons.
