I am not going to deny This show's place in children's television history. It may have been slapstick, silly humor but it still brings back so many happy memories. I watched this show as a child religiously. Back when Nickelodeon was for children. I just wanted to be part of their cast too. I loved their opposite sketches, Christine and Lisa, little Dougie, Alanis before she became a famous singer. I had a crush on Alistair. Too bad, there is not a show like this now on television for children. When Nickelodeon first came on, this show really became part of our childhood life. I remember always talking about this show and what they got up to. I only wished they did more with the original cast. They always had a theme. This was not best written show nor did it pretend to be. It was made for it's audience and that was the children of the 1980s including myself. I will always have a soft place in my heart for this show which is rarely shown. Outdated maybe for today's kids but not for me.
