Why Square Pegs might be annoying:

    It only lasted one season.
    According to 'TV Guide,' drug use on the set contributed to the show's demise.
    Amy Linker had to wear a fat suit and fake braces.
    Even then, Sarah Jessica Parker was closer to 'Sex and the City' than high school geek.
    Its catchphrases included Muffy's 'It behooves me to tell you...' and Johnny Slash's 'a totally different head... totally.'
    It had a large number of 'very special guest stars' including Bill Murray, Devo and Father Guido Sarducci.

Why Square Pegs might not be annoying:

    Creator Anne Beatts based the show on her own high school experience.
    If your parents had not yet gotten cable, it was one of the only places to see and hear New Wave acts.
    Doors drummer John Densmore appeared in two episodes as a member of Johnny Slash's band.
    It was the 'Freaks and Geeks' of its day.
    A DVD set of the complete series was finally released to coincide with the 'Sex and the City' movie (2008).
