Those after-school special titles are AWESOME. "The Skating Rink." Really? That was all they could come up with? It's not like "The Cutting Edge" was taken back then. I also enjoy "Me and Dad's Wife." Hmm, I wonder what that one's about?
Season 11, Episode 8: The Wave Original Air Date: 30 March 1983 High School teacher decides to conduct a social experiment, asking his students to take part. But what they don't know is that the experiment is on mind control.
The Wave! OMG, I totally remember that. I think we watched it in school, too. Clearly, it taught a Very Important Lesson.
I also recall "Date Rape" well. I loved Reed Diamond on Homicide, but I always remember him first as the jock date rapist (who grew a conscience in the end IIRC).
I think they realized some of these in box sets, right? Man, that would make for some great group viewing. Along with lots of booze.
