Great cast and good sitcom that dealt with teen topics.
A wonderfully fun show & definitely something different at the time considering it had female leads without a single male in the opening.
Discovered this with my mom during the pandemic. I really enjoy it. Covers lots of topics that are still relevant today in the 21st century.
I remember one episode with a fire in the building and they can all grab one thing. One of them tries to bring her one “wardrobe.” Meh.
Not for me, maybe for you.
Its allways a very special episode
6/10
