A spirited look at high-school life circa early 1980s from the perspective of two teenage girls who yearn for peer acceptance. It benefits from a strong cast anchored by future 'Sex and the City' star Sarah Jessica Parker, and a snappy theme song by the Waitresses, a New Wave combo. Created by Anne Beatts, a former 'Saturday Night Live' scribe, who enlisted Bill Murray to play an offbeat substitute teacher in the memorable 'No Substitute' episode.
