Savannah was a short-lived TV series that ran from March 1996 to February 1997 on The WB.

It was a night-time soap opera that took place in the city of Savannah, Georgia. The show revolved around three female friends, Reese, Lane, and Peyton. It followed them though the good times and the bad.

Lane McKenzie left Savannah after graduating for college to become a big journalist in New York. She returned for her best friend's, Reese Burton, wedding to Travis Peterson. Lane finds out that her apartment in New York is robbed and she tries to collect on an inheritance only to find out that Travis stole every last penny of it. Peyton, daughter of the Burton mansion maid, had an affair with Travis. Reese finds out that Travis was having an affair with a "Bunny" and is devastated. Travis has wound up dead. And through it all, they remain friends.

The show was very popular at first, but after it was moved opposite Monday Night Football, it fell in the ratings and was canceled. Reese was played by blonde daytime soap actress Shannon Sturges; Lane was played by brunette Robyn Lively; and Peyton was played by redhead Jamie Luner, who became very famous from this role as the slutty, troubled bad girl. It also starred a pre-CSI George Eads.
