C B Saw a couple episodes of this show on HDNet. Unfortunately the increased picture quality is the only good thing going for it. Unless you just have to see Sarah Jessica Parker as a high school nerd, avoid this and rent the Saved By The Bell DVDs instead. This show is nowhere near as good as the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High which is a far more entertaining look at high school in the early 80's.
Totallyrad80 I remember being in 7th grade when this show came out and I felt like I've got a glimpse of high school for me with these characters. I loved it and I was so mad when CBS cancelled it after 1 season. I felt like I could relate to these characters and said that I will probably run into these kind of students when I would get into high school. But this show did it for me with the scripts they had and I did pick out my favorite episode was when Muffy (Jami Gertz, who was amazingly beautiful and one of the funniest) had a party and did not want to invite Patty and her gang and the plot in the script worked out very well. I also like the one when Marshall bought a love detector and try to enter it in the science fair and try to prove to Lauren that she was in love with him and it turned out to cause a chaos in school. It was a wonderful show for me to watch and my favorite was Vinnie Pasetta (Jon Caliri) who was the Italian stallion going out with the empty head stuck up popular Valley Girl, Jennifer, which I was hoping he dumped her for Patty when they were casted in the high school play, which I thought that would of been the kiss of death for the character, Jennifer and the show itself. But this is one show I really enjoyed as a teenager and as of this day I was so sorry it lasted for only one season. I have the episode on video for the last 12 years when USA network showed them so that is a collectors item for me.
k-karpinski One of my fave' episodes was "Halloween XII" where the heavy breathing of Vinnie's was typical prankishness of him as was his heavy breathing phone call to the teacher's house where the girls were having their party.
blaackbird I recently saw this show for the first time. What a museum piece. Unfortunately, I suppose, it belongs in a museum NOBODY WANTS TO VISIT! A horrifying reminder of some very typical traits of the time and the rabid desire to look and act like a d*** fool in order to be popular, this show sent ugly shivers down my spine. I'll be turning 30 this year, and I never felt so glad to be so far from adolescence as when I saw this show. As if that weren't enough, the acting reeked. I do acknowledge that since the show was satirical, the poor acting likely was all part of the clownish send-up of the dim-bulb behavior it depicts. It almost makes it praiseworthy. Almost.I'm just as glad that I don't like Sarah Jessica Parker anyway (that smarmy HBO show of hers and her clear impression that she's attractive... insert vomit here).
