DVD Pick ‘O The Week 5/22/2008

I know that I’m a couple days late with this week’s pick but with the road trip and having to catch back up on work… Things have been busy!

Square Pegs – The Complete Series

Square Pegs was a CBS comedy television series that aired during the 1982-1983 season. The series followed Patty Greene (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lauren Hutchinson (Amy Linker), two awkward teenage girls desperate to fit in at Weemawee High School.

(from Wiki)
“Created by former Saturday Night Live writer Anne Beatts, the series was much acclaimed by critics at the time for its realistic (if comic) look at teenage life, reflecting a sensibility somewhat similar to the John Hughes teen comedies of a few years later.
The show lasted one season; the first two episodes had strong ratings, but plummeted shortly after. A TV Guide article dated June 9, 1984 blamed the show’s failure on the inexperience of its staff, and drug use on the set; nevertheless, it struck a chord with many Generation X viewers and many of its catchphrases and characters are still fondly remembered by fans.”

Forget about Sex In The City… This is Sarah Jessica Parker’s BEST ROLE!!!
