Skin (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skin is the name of a television show which aired on Fox in 2003. It followed the tale of two teenagers who come from feuding families. One, Adam (played by D.J. Cotrona), is the son of the Los Angeles District Attorney, and the other is Jewel (played by Olivia Wilde), whose father (Ron Silver) runs a pornography company. The show was basically a modern-day Romeo and Juliet. Even after an incredible amount of advertising had been put into it, it was cancelled after only three episodes due to poor ratings and less than favorable reviews.

ESPN.com columnist Bill Simmons gave the show a certain level of infamy due to the repetitive nature of the spots that ran during the Major League Baseball playoffs, which featured Silver bellowing "HIS FATHER IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY!"
