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.
