Well, there is a new fun show - called Reunion. And the really cool thing is the pace. It is kind of a Dawson's Creek murder mystery - but it follows 6 friends from high school. And each episode is a year. So it moves.
In episode 1 (1986), there was a drunk driving / manslaughter incident, a pregnacy where a girl was knocked up by her boyfriend's best friend (they were on a break) , a plea bargin gone wrong forcing an innocent friend to the slammer, a high school trollop sleeping with a teacher - only to rebound into the arms of the loser virgin who always loved her - only to have her go away to Hollywood while he went to MIT.
Kids - it zips along. And the cast if very cute (Lisa - I know you have a thing for Will estes from u-571 (your favorite WWII movie in which we tell the real story about the Engima capture)).
