Hillside (American title, Fifteen) was a live-action television series that aired on YTV in Canada and Nickelodeon in the United States. Dealing with teenager and high school issues, it featured a large ensemble cast which underwent several changes over the show's four-season run. The show was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia for seasons 1 and 2 and for seasons 3 and 4, it was taped at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

The series was Nickelodeon's first and only teenage soap opera. It followed the students of Hillside School and dealt with a variety of issues including dating, divorce, alcohol abuse, and friendship. The series lasted from 1991 until 1993. Sixty-five episodes were produced.

In 1993, various actors, including Ryan Reynolds and Laura Harris were nominated for a Young Artist Award.

Reynolds later gained fame on the sitcom Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place and went on to star in top movies such as National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Waiting..., The Amityville Horror (2005 film), and Smokin' Aces. Harris was later seen in the movie The Faculty as well as 24 , CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and recently, Women's Murder Club.

The show played heavily into stereotypes, including two characters named Dylan and Chris, who wore leather jackets to show off their toughness, but which couldn't completely disguise their inner selves.
