Wow--I was going to comment on your post last night when you first put this up, but it was well after midnight and bed was calling. It's interesting how these kinds of things just build up heads of steam and then blow up. This thread seems to have developed a life of its own, hasn't it?

I was just going to say (last night before I tucked myself in), that this high school fascination theme has been done, flogged and should now be ceremoniously buried beneath 6 feet of celluloid. It just seems to be another one of TV's fads--along the same lines as the Cop Show, the Lawyer Show and Quirky Sitcom Show. Hopefully it'll go the same way as prime time soap opera.
