Did anyone watch this show? It aired on ABC for one season from 94-95. I never watched it, as I was too young to give a fuck about a show like that. I just remember that my brother was always watching it. Someone made me think of it recently and I looked it up and apparently fans and critics loved it. It was basically about some 15 year old high school chick (Claire Danes), but what they say was cool about it is how real and non soap-operaesque all of the dialogue and situations were.

I don't know, for some reason I feel like looking into this show.

It was a kick ass show. Claire Daines was hot back then and even hotter now.

I was in college when it first aired, and then I think it ran on MTV after ABC cancelled it. It's a very good show that had no good target audience. An adult show about teenagers. It gained a cult status though.

Loved it. One of the most real high school shows. Angela was just like me in high school. And I had a messed-up friend who was a lot like Rayanne.

But I think the Jared Leto romance gave me hope that I'd hookup with the class hot-kid. Never happened.

Brian Krakaw was soooo real. My god I knew like 5 of him at my school.

that's when I caught them all. It was an ok show, but I don't think it lived up to the hype. oh, and the annoying chick from Jaws 3 played the mom... :lol:

I loved this show. It's available on DVD, but I don't think they press it anymore.

They ran the whole season about a year ago on Noggin.
