A new Roku channel shows "Square Pegs" on weekend mornings. I hadn't seen an episode since I watched them over 40 years ago on Monday nights on CBS, but the first one I saw was probably the one I best remembered - Johnny Slash is bizarrely good at hitting home runs for the school's baseball team. Unfortunately, he can only play home games because the fields at other schools look different. Steve Sax makes a cameo, and they mentioned that he had just been named Rookie of the Year about 6 times.
I also always like Tracy Nelson as Jennifer. She has the Valley Girl thing going on, even though the show is basically set in the New York area, but also has a proto-Madonna vibe. She's also true Hollywood royalty, being the daughter of Ricky Nelson, sister of Nelson Nelson, granddaughter of Ozzie and Harriet, niece of Mark Harmon and Pam Dawber ....
