Plot Summary

Welcome to Weemawee High School, where being in the right clique can make one's years in school memorable. Enter Patty Greene and Lauren Hutchinson, two freshman who tried hard to be accepted into these cliques. The only problem was they stood out like sore thumbs. Patty was brainy and wore glasses, and Lauren was overweight and had braces. Thankfully, two other "square pegs" accepted them. They came in the form of aspiring comedian Marshall Blechtman and New Wave rocker Johnny Ulasewicz (aka Johnny Slash). Still, Lauren and Patty wanted to be in with the cool kids who came in the form of Jennifer DeNuccio, a wanna-be Valley Girl; LaDonna Fredericks, the hippest black girl in Weemawee High; Jennifer's boyfriend Vinnie Pasetta, a John Travolta carbon copy. Muffy Tepperman, who joined anything from JV pep squad to science fair organizer, was also a thorn in the side of both the popular kids, as well as the uncool kids. Written by Pat McCurry

Trivia The show's cancellation after only one season was something of a surprise as it drew largely positive responses from critics and was popular with viewers. It was subsequently revealed that the show's cancellation was due to revelations of rampant on set drug use by cast and crew members during production of the series. See more »
