Plot
The show revolves around two different lifestyles that clashed repeatedly. On one side of the tracks was the wealthy Malibu crowd, and on the other was the more working-class gang of "the Valley". When Zack (Tony Lucca) from the Valley meets Chloe (Keri Russell) from the Malibu beachfront, they fall in love- but no one thinks its a good idea but the two of them. After their "love-at-first-sight" meeting, Zach is transferred to Chloe's school along with his friends (due to an earthquake). The remainder of the episodes dealt with the clashing of the two groups.
Cancellation
Malibu Shores debuted as a midseason replacement and was initially picked up for six episodes (including two one-hour pilots).[1] Scheduled on Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., the series drew low ratings and was canceled within one season.[2]
