I thought about it, but here’s my deep, dark, dirty secret: I never watched more than the pilot episode. It’s one of the down sides of being an expatriate who went to Europe and won’t come back until things change: the DVD set I got was for the wrong region, and by the time I got a region-free player I had moved on.
But I agree with you and @lastchance that it reminded me all too much of the high school years that I absolutely hated. I never got a yearbook, as I did not want to remember those terrible years.
There was a local punk band that had another take on yearbooks:
> Look at the yearbooks, where are they all now
And why they wandered where they did if they're not around I will look and look and track them all down And maybe I'll feel better when the last one is found 3000 names on a hit list Schools are bigger these days, there's so much more to accomplish It's not a small town 1950's thing There's more than 39 people's whereabouts to obtain And I can't compensate for what is real You are all responsible for the way that I feel The after-effects were never part of the deal The more I look back at them the worse I feel– 9353, “Americana Schitzo”
