The credit for that belongs soley at the door of E4 an off shoot of uk comercial broadcaste Channel 4. The bbc has nothing to do with Skins. BBC america buys in shows from all the british networks not just those made by the bbc themselves. great article but the bbc DOES NOT produce Skins.

The whole notion of rich teenagers having sex as a TV series tentpole has worn thin. Plus, is it just me or would I bother with Gossip Girl if, suddenly, a deranged acolyte among them started getting a little Columbine?<br><br>I might, I might. I dunno.

At least they had personalities.<br><br>After reading so much about it, I was excited to see BBC America pick up 'Skins' - and unlike '90210' it totally doesn't disappoint. Sex (girl on boy, boy on boy, teacher on student....), drugs, anorexia, abandonment,...it's got it all but without feeling like they're just trying to push the hot teen buttons. The kids seem real and none of them are all good or all evil - they're just kids from different races, classes, and backgrounds coping with real life issues. It's like an R-rated 'Degrassi.'
