Series from 1982
For "square pegs" Patty Greene (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lauren Hutchinson (Amy Linker), fitting into the round hole known as Weemawee High School is…
Best friends Patty Greene and Lauren Hutchinson quickly learn that fitting in at high school could be harder than passing an advanced geometry final, as they venture into their first day as Weemawee High freshmen--desperately trying not to look the part, in the premiere episode of "Square Pegs." Convinced that all they have to do is "click with the right clique," the girls confidently launch their strategic plans to become "accepted and popular" among their new friends--even if it "kills" them.
Vinnie and Jennifer, Weemawee's "killer 'couple," are suddenly on the outs when Vinnie is cast as the male lead in- the school musical and starts making eyes at his female co-star--Patty.
Lauren is head over heels in love, but the unlikely object of her teenaged infatuation could innocently be setting her up for a crushing romantic fall.
High school sports takes a giant step backwards when an enthusiastic Lauren encourages a skeptical Patty to join her on the Weemawee girls' football team--convinced it's the "perfect" way to meet boys.
The arrival of a video game on campus ignites an obsession within class clown Marshall that has taken over his normal comic personality, prompting his concerned best friend Johnny into "recruiting" the one person who may be able to exorcise Marshall from his electronic addiction--Father Guido Sarducci. Comedian/actor Don Novello, who is perhaps best known as Father Guido Sarducci, the character he immortalized on the "Saturday Night Live" series, guest stars as that character, providing comic inspiration for an all-consumed Marshall.
The music industry might never be the same when Weemawee High's Career Week sparks Johnny into launching his "ideal" career--as leader of his own rock band--under the "careful" guidance of his self-appointed manager, best friend Marshall.
