I have it on DVD and it's high time I watched it again. I've always been on about BEVERLY HILLS 90210 and its successor 90210, but those big, big efforts often, no, more often than not, took on too much and ran away with themselves. This one has that real feeling. And it often inspires these fuzzy warm feelings, hey, just the memory of it...! I have several ShoutFactory products as I'm into "decades past" and the ad pops up regularly, and I salute it every time it appears. Angela Chase is one of my all-time favorite girls on film. Coupled with ROMEO + JULIET, I am a hugé Claire Danes fan.
Just today, I voted for it on the polls as "Greatest Series Set Mainly in a High School" or something like that. At their best moments, the 90210's were great, but far from consistent. This one, you knew what you had, it was always not just good, but great. More than that, it tugged at your heart.
Was unfortunately doomed because of course Claire was destined for movies. Which sunk Season Two. That was the show's only flaw. It had a star it couldn't keep.
By the way, A.j. Langer, cheered for you too!
I maintain that the best TV came from the Nineties. This one is a prime example.
Highly recommended. Soft-hearted romantics into unrequited love especially.
{and I so wanted to post that classic quote "like a toaster or something", oh! but somebody beat me to it...!}
