A show centered on social networking...the old fashioned way.
"I'd like it if they liked us but i don't think they like us"- an '80s prophecy for Facebook? - Perhaps not. Nevertheless - the band (The Waitresses), were musically and artistically ahead of their time. Fun clip.Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for all the You Tube postings re Square Peges. I absolutely loved this show as a young teen and was devestated when it was cancelled. The 80's were so much fun.
Interesting that Tracy Wormworth is playing bass for the Waitresses here, because she was not playing on the version of the song included on the LP "Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful?" That was David Hofstra.
I thought Wormworth was the greatest female rock bassist in the world based on "Wonderful." Then I read an interview with her in which she informed the interviewer that she hadn't played on it. She may very well still be the best, but I don't have any evidence.
It fell short because there was turmoil "backstage", 'RJ'. When CBS saw it didn't have "ratings potential", it shifted the series to Wednesday nights in mid-season, then back to Mondays before they cancelled it for good. There was an article in TV GUIDE that season in which it described executive producer Anne Beatts as "frustrated" because she wasn't getting any support from CBS or Embassy TV executives. Today, of course, the series is remembered only because it was Sarah's first series....
The clothes that the blonde guy is wearing - I am seeing quite a lot of people dressing this way these days.

"Always never quite right" - awesome lyrics, awesome vocals! The '80s aren't my favorite decade for nothing.

For some reason ,for me anyway,the 1982-1983 tv season was the last really great time for All 3 networks.Square Pegs was one of those reasons.

Square Pegs had the potential of being the defining teenage show of the 80s,but fell short of really succeeding.
