The plot summary had it wrong: Jeff's father died of a heart attack in the pilot movie called 'Senior Year.' Anita's parents were divorced. Her mom was having an affair and Anita caught her going into the hotel with the guy. That's why Anita had trouble committing and opening up to Jeff. I know all of this because I was in my early teens at the time and loved the show. It was the kind of show that really captured the angst of teenage life (ala 'My So Called Life'). Amazing it only survived 13 episodes, but I think it had strong competition at the time. Very few of my friends watched it because something more popular was on at the same time slot. Wish they'd re-run the 13 on Bravo or TV Land or something.
