- CreatorGuy FraumeniStarsLance KerwinSamaria GrahamMara HobelA teen drama anthology that often touched on social issues of the day.Definitely one to check out! This american anthology series aimed at ) young teens would address the trials and tribulations going on in their lives. This dramatic (although the writing/acting is dramatic in a glorious cheesy OTT way) series covered some very controversial issues for children's TV such as Rape, teen pregnancy, mental health problems . It wasn't always serious though, and there are some great comic and fantasy episodes, and features a star studded cast. Chances are you have seen at least one of these episodes on TV, maybe even at school during P.S.H.E or Sex education classes!, so I would absolutely check out the Imdb episode guide, YouTube and Wikipedia. Really great retro goodness!
