Hey,
Yeah, I was in high school then, and James at 15 was so big, even though that show seems forgotten about now. I do remember that a lot was written about it at the time, and it was considered more real than anything till that point. I guess it was, for its time. I watched it, everyone did, and it was definitely the most talked about show when I was in high school. Actually James at 15 and Family too. Everyone also talked like crazy about whether Kristy McNichol was actally going to in Family. That was also a big deal. But she didn't.
But I do have to admit, my favorite high school show was on years and years later. Actually in 1994/1995. My So Called Life. I still tinink that was the best high school show ever, even for adults.
