I remember this series. It was like a precursor of things to come. I remember the girl smoking her first cigarette in the car. I remember Ted Bessell drawing caricatures on the border of the poster advertising an upcoming melodrama performance in town. I remember the bond between the brothers, the difficulty of a brother trying to be a parent as well. I remember they were striving to improve their lives as best they could; going to school, working hard, not just hanging out, working while going to school, working to maintain relationships, caring about one another. No gangs, no graffiti, unless you count Tom-Tom's altering the melodrama poster, no swear words, no nudity and any homo-erotic subtleties were in the eyes of gay viewers. And without all that "reality" stuff it was still excellent. Keep your Greek plays, I'll take the Politically Incorrectly titled It's A Man's World over any of them. It was my college experience before college. How I loved that wonderful TV show. I have looked for it for years.
