 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })October Road is a 2007 ABC TV show created, written, and produced by Scott Rosenberg as the Spiritual Successor to his 1994 movie Beautiful Girls. Beautiful Girls was based on Rosenberg's Massachusetts hometown and his childhood buddies, and October Road was based on their reaction to it.Knights Ridge, MA is a small, blue-collar college town. Nick Garrett leaves at age 18 to go travel around Europe for six weeks. He doesn't return for ten years, leaving behind his widower father, younger brother, girlfriend, and his group of lifelong buddies. During his time away, he became a highly successful author, using his hometown and friends as fodder for his book. While suffering a bout of writer's block, he receives an offer to return to Knights Ridge and give a seminar at the nearby college. Upon his return, he finds that his ex-girlfriend has a ten-year old son named Sam and is engaged to Nick's longtime nemesis, Big Cat. His father and brother are shut-ins, one of his close friends has become severely agoraphobic and hasn't left the house in years, and very few people in town are happy about Nick's return.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Bookends: the Distant Finale shows Sam about to follow in his old man's footsteps and go off to travel in Europe following graduation. The goodbye scene for Sam echoes the goodbye scene for Nick in the series' pilot.

 All Guys Want Cheerleaders: Played straight and averted by Eddie. He was known for bedding the cheerleaders and a succession of pretty women. He then starts dating Janet, who is quite the opposite of Eddie's usual tastes.

 Berserk Button: Don't try to steal Big Cat's girlfriend, or he will, you know, destroy your life and the lives of everyone around you. Don't leave Hannah promising to come back after six weeks and then not call for 10 years. Don't abandon Eddie for 10 years and make him look dumb in a best-selling novel. Don't be rude to a woman who brings you food. Owen Rowan will bring the ouch.
