Square Pegs: The Like, Totally Complete Series... Totally
Totally '80s. Totally Awesome. Totally Weemawee.
Square Pegs follows the hilarious misadventures of Patty (Sarah Jessica Parker, TV's Sex and the City) and Lauren (Amy Linker), two freshmen girls desperate to fit in at Weemawee High School. Befriended by oddball characters Marshall (John Femia), a budding comedian, and Johnny Slash (Merritt Butrick), a wacky new-waver, Patty and Lauren still hope to impress the popular kids: valley girl Jennifer (Tracy Nelson), her tough boyfriend Vinnie (Jon Caliri), and their sassy friend LaDonna (Claudette Wells). And it would "behoove us" to not forget Muffy (Jami Gertz), the ever-peppy preppie!
Acclaimed by critics, Square Pegs struck a chord with viewers of all ages and developed a huge cult following. Featuring guest stars Bill Murray, Martin Mull - plus New Wave acts Devo and the Waitresses (who perform the opening theme song) - all 19 digitally remastered, rad episodes are now available in this awesome, three-disc set, on DVD for, like totally, the first time ever!

I vaguely remembered this from the original airing, and I lived through the eighties. It's a pretty, um, enlightening journey through a very odd time in history, but I'm not so sure it still counts as a comedy. I'm sure there are some who will remember it or even watch it for the first time and laugh, but I wasn't one of them. I didn't really think it funny at all, more just odd, and well, odd. To call it dated would be the understatement of all understatements.
