The Best Laid Plans: Stephanie asks Wheels out on a date, but bravado and overheard conversations lead both of them to imply to their friends that they're going to "do something"—though neither is sure that they're ready for it. Nothing To Fear: When L.D.'s dad goes into the hospital, L.D. is terrified. Years ago, her mother died while undergoing treatment at a hospital and L.D. is scared that her father may die also.

Customer Reviews:

Best Teen Show Ever.......2007-05-29

Contrary to what the previous reviewer wrote, this is a wonderful show that explores real teen issues. Yes, because this was done in the 80's, it may seem dated to some now, but this Canadian series tackled topics that are still seldom touched on by mainstream U.S. networks such as teen pregnancy, suicide, abortion, and AIDS among teens, just to name a few. I would highly recommend this exceptional show.

Tired.......2007-05-06

Watched this with my kids who utterly and totally rejected it. The stories seemed far too didactic.
