A wonderful Pilot to a wonderful show.
Perhaps not perfect all the way through, but for a teen series at the late 90's it was certainly perfect.
The clever and hilarious dialog is mixed with some nice and touching drama.
The show happens in the 80's, yet you can still notice all the similarities of high school to these days. Kids are still mean, everyone's confused and miserable.
In the Pilot, you're introduced to a couple of Freaks (Favorite: Lindsey) and a couple of Geeks (Favorite: Bill) and even though they are an entirely different group. I can still identify with both.
There are many memorable moments in the Pilot, but my favorite was the homecoming dance. It was bound to leave a smile upon your face.
