Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High! As well as a show called "In Our Lives" which came on in DC. It was like a cross between Degrassi and Teen Summit.
Even though the kids in Degrassi were their correct ages, to this very DAY I don't think high school kids looked as old when I was there as they did on TV.

I never thought of myself or my friends as old when we were in High School. I thought many of us looked relatively young for our ages. But a couple years after I graduated a friend of the family (she's 4 years younger than I am) looked at my senior yearbook and said "wow you all look SOOOOO OLD" I was shocked. lol.
I can't really say that any shows etc influenced my views of HS/college. But I will say that I wished my high school was more like Saved by the Bell.
for whatever foolish reasons i thought HS was going to be a cross between Head of the Class (thx for the reminder!) and Sweet Valley.
i was always in advanced/magnet programs and that was the only tv show that reflected my assumption of what a challenging HS would be about. the sweet valley element comes from, umm, i have no clue!
i just KNEW college was going to be like Higher Learning (sans shooting) and House Party. No comment on how it really turned out, though.
