Time to stock up on video tapes. Nickelodeon (more accurately, Nick-at-Nite) is going to show a bunch of Square Pegs episodes on March 9th. Square Pegs, with a theme song by the Waitresses, was my favorite eighties show. OK, it doesn’t beat Moonlighting, so we’ll call it my favorite early 80’s show. It concentrated on the “out” crowd who tried to figure out the “in” crowd. Sarah Jessica Parker looks suitably geeky (hard to believe), Amy Linker wore some padding to fit into her character’s “I’m too fat” role, “most popular” Tracy Nelson looks nothing like the nun she later played in Father Dowling, and Merritt Butrick is just too cool as the “new wave, not punk” guy whose vision is going bad because he wears sunglasses all the time. Butrick was Captain Kirk’s son in the Star Trek movies, and guest starred in a Next Generation episode a year or so before he died of AIDS in 1989. RIP Johnny Slash, my pre-teen hero.
