So...it was decent. I’m more peeved that a best friend would betray a best friend as Kelly has done Brenda. Just really poor writing on their part.

This one is pretty heavy! It was an interesting read because it diverges from the episodes in unusual ways. I always enjoy revisiting these characters and Mel Gilden does a great job capturing the tone.

For our commentary one some of the episodes included, tune in to 9021HereWeG0: https://soundcloud.com/9021hereweg0/s...

Drama, drama, drama!!!!! So much drama going on for a group of high school kids. It was like a regular high school on steroids but it did touch on a lot of problems kids can face. It was very entertaining.
