Trivia
The first television pilot of the show was filmed in May 1990, featuring a group of local actors in the main roles, among them was future Backstreet Boys member Howie Dorough. After the success of the pilot, the show was picked up, but the roles were recast, according to series creator Bob Mittenthal "Those kids did a good job, the proof is that the show was picked up as a series , but research told Nickelodeon it needed better-defined characters".

A pretty good show

This was a pretty good show. I remember watching this show and really enjoying it. The plots were interesting, but simplistic. The characters were unique to this show. The principal of the school was funny, and always got into weird situations. I wish this show was still being aired!
