I love Square Pegs the way I love Welcome Back, Kotter or I Dream of Jeannie: for it's kitsch quality. From an easily-spooked new-waver named Johnny Slash, to the bitchy, overly-bubbly pep coordinator Muffi, to Sarah Jessica Parker in one of her earliest roles as an ugly duckling, this show is full of weird and wonderful characters. True, it's hard to believe why two people like the main characters would want to be friends with the catty popular girls, but we get the feeling the show was asking itself that same question. Anyone who loves the '80s as much as I do would love this show. A theme song by The Waitresses, an appearance by Devo, over-the-top legwarmer and skinny tie costumes worn by everyone; what's not to like?
