i remember when i was in 6th grade, they made a big deal about drugs, they had guest speakers and we had to wear shirts that says, "Say No to Dope!" LOL
This was in the days when only 3 tv networks reigned supreme and niche programs weren't given the time of day. Original programming on cable was a very small change business. (HBO didn't see their first "hit" originals until Not Necessarilly The News and their 'One Night Stand' standup shows in the mid 80's.) A show like this would be on Nickelodeon or Disney today. Barring that, it would likely be a web series.
Am I the only one who gets how bad this show is? Seriously. And it's not one of those shows that seemed better at the time. I was around the first time, and it was silly then.
@jonthom11702 No, you're just the only one who fails to understand it. It's a fancy sitcom with a low budget so in terms of SFX it's going to be bad. There's camp value to it, which is a personal taste, and it's a show that, I admit, poorly addresses the human condition. Had they made the show an hour long, then I think it would have been much better. If you already know these things, then that just means that this show doesn't suit you. That's no reason for it to not suit anyone else.
An hour? Yes, that's what was missing from this poorly acted, written and produced show. A small pile of poo on a plate is bad, but put a big pile of poo on a plate, and now you've got... oh wait. A big pile of poo.
The acting is on the same level as "Full House," the only exception being Vicki for obvious reasons, the writing was only bad when they were doing those episodes that tried to relay a message (like this one, for example) and the production is understandably low as this was pushed as a sitcom and not SciFi. At this point, I'm just going to say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and leave it at that because you don't see it. Or if you do, it's just not your cup of tea. So be it.
Jamie as a narc......sucks! I would have fled that scene once he started talking into his shoulder.

If not for the crappy FX, I think the show was ahead of it's time.
