"So they did strip out the songs, but they couldn't kill Devo and the Waitresses on camera. And the inhabitants of Weemawee High are as funny and moving as always. Check out the glam SJP in the interesting yet sparse DVD extras. Maybe IQ does trump cup size after all!"
Moments of Brilliance, but inconsistant

"With the creative team behind the ORIGINAL Saturday Night Live, this charming often witty show came out. Having to break the network enforced conventions, like a pathetic laugh track through the first 3/4 of the series, not to mention hammy overacting and cliche characters, there are some true genius moments in several of the episodes. The "glasses" speech in the second episode is one of the heaviest darkest things ever on network TV, and the Bill Murray episode is wonderful. The problem with so many writers and so little time, makes it hard to be consistent, and the quality definitely slacked near the end of the series. But I'm holding it against NON Teen shows, and that's really not fair. In the category the show was in, it by FAR outshines the garbage released now for teens. From the 90's on, horribly written, manufactured, unfunny shows with NOTHING to say like Saved By The Bell and California Dreams put Square Pegs on a Citizen Kane level."
