Between ABC's Afterschool Special and CBS's Afternoon Playhouse, working out at home has allowed me to see about 40 mini-dramas dealing with every teen issue from foster care to what to do with 7 wishes to teen pregnancy to being a basketball player who takes ballet to drug use to shoplifting to... well let's just say they run the gambit.
Do you have a favorite or even any memories of these teen dramas?
The other thing that fascinates me about these- I have yet to see one that did not have a future star from 70s teen celebrities (Leif Garrett, Kristy McNichol) to proto-80 & 90s stars (Cynthia Nixon, Rob Lowe). The one I watched today (I Think I Maybe Pregnant) had Jennifer Jason Leigh, Helen Hunt, Tracy Gold and Ally Sheedy!
