I was the same age as "Angela" when this show was originally on... and this is the first time I have watched it as an adult... all I can say is Wow! This was such an amazing series back in the day, but I am interested to see my perspective now. The pilot, which I don't think I ever saw before, actually ripped at my heart a little. This show made me actually feel what life was like for me as a teen.... I was transported back into my old bedroom that I shared with my sister. We had a junky old television that we would watch it on... and we thought we were so awesome because we had a tv in our room! LOL! Now I don't even own a television set at all. Ah, how times have changed. *tear*
