Bereamic Awesome Movie

HoBopkins I have great memories of this show when I was in junior high and then I bought the DVD collection thinking that memories would then glide into sweet nostalgia, like when I watch old episodes of other great shows. But this very well might be the worst show ever made. The characters are awful, and the premise is built of sand not stone. We are supposed to believe that these girls are unpopular, meanwhile they have more confidence, and are better looking, than the popular set. Amy Linker's eyes alone would cause guys to fall down and beg her for a date, no matter that they added pillows to make her fat and braces. I remembered the Lenny and Squiggy of the show, Johnny Slash and Marshall, the geeky guy sidekicks, but what I didn't remember is that they aren't funny. If you want to go down memory lane, I would avoid this avenue altogether. The show is clumsily written, poorly acted, and just plain stinks.

kgritzan I was an extra on this show...for one episode. The one with the quiz show. It was filmed at a closed high school in the LA area. You were supposed to be 18 to be an extra, but they didn't check...just asked "are you over 18?" Of course I said yes. We sat around on the set for hours, then were herded into the auditorium where we sat for hours. The cast finally came in and were seated in the front row. I just remember the one actress saying her line "It's OTIS" over and over again. We sat there for hours. It was extremely boring. But I was in love with the blond guy on the show, so it was all good.So, this isn't a helpful post at all! But a fun memory of the 80s.

dave Oh Square Pegs....whenever I watch this show I always wish I was a teen during the 80s.The plot is quite simple it's about two unpopular girls(Lauren and Patty)who start highschool and want to become popular.Well actually Patty really doesn't care about popularity,but since Lauren is her best friend she usually goes along with her plans.During the short lived series they befriend aspiring comedian Marshall and dim-witted new waver Johnny Slash.All the characters have their funny moments.Very gnarly 80s show.I give it 9/10.

rosettarosetta I love Square Pegs the way I love Welcome Back, Kotter or I Dream of Jeannie: for it's kitsch quality. From an easily-spooked new-waver named Johnny Slash, to the bitchy, overly-bubbly pep coordinator Muffi, to Sarah Jessica Parker in one of her earliest roles as an ugly duckling, this show is full of weird and wonderful characters. True, it's hard to believe why two people like the main characters would want to be friends with the catty popular girls, but we get the feeling the show was asking itself that same question. Anyone who loves the '80s as much as I do would love this show. A theme song by The Waitresses, an appearance by Devo, over-the-top legwarmer and skinny tie costumes worn by everyone; what's not to like?
