In 1982, former SNL writer Anne Beatts had created this sitcom for CBS, based on her own high-school experiences. Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Linker are best friends starting their freshman year in high school, but are caught between cliques. Jami Gertz is also memorable as the snobby cheerleader Muffy Tepperman and Merritt Butrick and John Femia are the two hapless goofballs that Parker and Linker befriend in the process. Unfortunately, CBS didn't fully support this show and was cancelled mid-season, but the show eventually lived on in cable reruns.
