Spin off from The Heartbreak Kid (1993)

rude kids, talented actors

This TV-series is very good, I do not think there is another realistic series about High School with so many good actors and so good storyline. It treats many important aspects of growing up, difficult times and good times. I think that entertainment today is speculative and cold. This series is not. Its about values, but not so much as becoming a pain in the butt.
