I was a generation away from these kids, having graduated in 1968, but I loved the show. So I related to the teens and the parents.
Things had not changed in 30 years. Same peer pressures same problems. It almost made me want to go back in time and change my behavior as a teen. I was definitely a geek.
What is really awful is that network television let this show pass after only 18 episodes. This is why I rarely watch television anymore. Many of the quality programs are never given a chance. Television is all about selling products and not so much about selling a program.
If there is any poetic justice it is that enough of the actors were appreciated and have not disappeared from the scene.
