Befriended by oddball characters Marshall (John Femia), a budding comedian, and Johnny Slash (Merritt Butrick), a wacky new-waver, Patty and Lauren still hope to impress the popular kids: valley girl Jenn desertcart.com Square Pegs was in a class by itself, but much like brainy, bespectacled Patty (Sarah Jessica Parker) and pushy, overweight Lauren (Amy Linker), popularity eluded this late, lamented series, which was expelled from prime time after one season. Rarely seen in syndication, its cult cachet has only increased with time (enhanced by Parker’s extreme makeover into Sex and the City’s trend-setting Carrie Bradshaw). In the words of peppy, preppy Muffy Tepperman (a spirited Jami Gertz in her own career-launching role), it behooves us to report that the series lives up to its rep as a smart and hip alternative to what creator Anne Beatts (in one of the newly filmed interviews with the show’s creators and cast included on each disc) calls "processed cheese television" of the day. Square Pegs was a totally different head; totally. Anticipating 16 Candles and Freaks and Geeks, Square Pegs viewed high school from the perspective of the bottom of the high-school social food chain. Patty and Lauren are freshmen at Weemawee High School. Lauren has it "all psyched out": If the girls can click with the right clique, they will at last have "a social life that’s worthy of us." Alas, it is not to be. The girls instantly run afoul of the school’s reigning Mean Girl, Jennifer (Tracy Nelson), her bad boy boyfriend, Vinnie (Jon Caliri), and her sassy best friend, LaDonna (Claudette Welles). "La Donna doesn’t like anything I do," Patty wails, "and I don’t do anything." They are also treated with disdain by Muffy, who seems to have the run of the school to rally students around sponsoring a "Guatemalan child" (they need swimwear, too). Patty and Lauren reluctantly bond with fellow square peggers Marshall Blechtman (John Fernia), an aspiring comedian always ready with a Saturday Night Live or Monty Python reference, and the "laid back and left back" Johnny Slash (the late Merritt Butrick), who’s New Wave, and not punk. (New Wave, he explains, is "a totally different head; totally"). Each episode brings some new fresh hell for Patty and Lauren, but also some hope that their fortunes will somehow change and their stock will rise (in the pilot episode, Patty impresses a "stone fox" upperclassman, and in another, she's Vinnie's leading lady in the Chorus Line-inspired school musical, "A Cafeteria Line"). Until then, cup size may trump IQ, but friendship will trump popularity. Weemawee High School appears to be based in New York, but everything else about the show is totally Los Angeles, from, like, Jennifer’s Valley Girl-speak to an appearance in one episode by Steve Sax and the Dodgers. The laugh track is as lame and half-hearted as the one employed by SCTV, but the show’s left of center spirit shines through. Two standout episodes feature, respectively, Bill Murray (Beatts’ former National Lampoon and SNL colleague) as an unorthodox substitute teacher, and Devo, who performs at Muffy’s New Wave Bat Mitzvah. And that’s Wally Cleaver himself, Tony Dow, as Patty’s estranged divorced father in what passes as a Very Special two-part holiday episode. Square Pegs is totally '80s (in one episode, Marshall's Pac-Man addiction can only be cured by an intervention by Don Novello’s Father Guido Sarducci), but the Waitress’s indelible theme song ("I’d like it if they like us/But I don’t think they like us") sets just the right pathetic/persevering tone that will resonate for a new generation for whom "one size does not fit all." --Donald Liebenson Review: 14 year old kid approved and my nostalgia is satisfied! - I bought this for nostalgia. I watched the first two episodes of it with my 14 year old and thought that it was going to be deemed as lame or boring. On the contrary; I kept hearing how interesting and realistic it was as far as the way they portrayed awkwardness between young people, especially when they are crushing on each other. My teen found it super relatable and heartwarming. It’s nice to have something to share with my kids that we both can enjoy fully. One of the discs did come loose due to somehow disintegrated disc holder plastic pieces. When I tried to pop the other disc out in that same case, the pieces just crumbled out. The second case so far is fine. I chalk it up to a manufacturing issue and not reflective on the seller. The discs are fine and play well. The picture is excellent and clearer than I’d expected. My teen is hard of hearing and there didn’t seem to be more than French subtitles, so that’s disappointing. However, the audio and clear diction from the actors made it easy to understand the dialogue! Another win. Overall, if you have nostalgic feelings about this show, I say go for it and order this. Just be careful about opening the cases and know that there isn’t an English CC option in the menu, if that’s a concern. Review: very funny (totally, totally different head) and he really loves ... - The theme song says always never quite right, but this show was opposite. Square pegs is a show following two girls, plump Lauren and brainy Patty (played by sex and the city's sarah Jessica parker) who are freshmen in high school. Lauren is obsessed with getting into a popular clique so the girls can be popular and have a social life they deserve (no way! not even with cleavage!). Instead, they meet two boys, Marshall, an aspiring comedian and class clown, and Johnny Flash, who is as far out there as a person can get. He's often very ditzy but usually very, very funny (totally, totally different head) and he really loves his friends. Rounding out the cast is Muffy Tepperman (played by Jami gertz, facts of life's boots st Clair), an overly peppy girl who is always annoying everyone (one of the main jokes in the show is about the Guatemalan child she is always collecting money for) and the two popular girls Lauren wants to impress so badly. One is Jennifer, a well developed girl with a valley girl attitude and an idiot boyfriend and what can only be referred to as a stereotypical African American girl, Ladonna. Both girls are far from nice and one has to wonder why Lauren would want to impress them, but who didn't want to impress a mean, popular girl in high school? The show is very, very funny, with great one-liners and very 80s themes plots, like pac-man addiction. It's a shame this show only lasted one season. I thought that a lot when I watched the dvds because I think this could have been the little show that could. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00151QYT4 | | Actors | Amy Linker, John Famia, Merritt Butrick, Sarah Parker, Tracy Nelson | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,625 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,200 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (284) | | Director | Jim Nasella, Jr., Kim Friedman | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Subtitled | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.75 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Run time | 8 hours and 11 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | French | ## Product Details - **Format:** Subtitled - **Genre:** TV - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 8 hours and 11 minutes ## Images ![Square Pegs: The Complete Series - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516-fg49IcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 14 year old kid approved and my nostalgia is satisfied! *by B***R on January 23, 2021* I bought this for nostalgia.

Created by former Saturday Night Live writer Anne Beatts, Square Pegs follows the misadventures of adorable best friends Patty Greene (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lauren Hutchinson (Amy Linker) and their neverending quest for popularity. Though sustained by their friendship with fellow square pegs class clown Marshall Blechtman (John Femia) and new wave hipster Johnny "Slash" Ulasewicz (Merritt Butrick), Patty and Lauren desperately yearn for acceptance from valley girl-esque Jennifer DiNuccio (Tracy Nelson), her boyfriend Vinnie Pasetta (Jon Caliri) and best gal pal Ladonna Fredricks (Claudette Wells) to varying degrees of success. The girls could take notes from peppy preppy Muffy Tepperman (Jami Gertz) who thoroughly (and humorously) embraces who she is and doesn't care how others see her. But therein lies the fun of the show, watching how Patty and Lauren's schemes for popularity play out. Featuring great guest stars of the time including Bill Murray ( Caddyshack , Ghostbusters ) and the original unedited musical performances from New Wave acts Devo and The Waitresses (who also perform the classic opening theme song), Square Pegs is undeniably '80s. And that's just fine because thanks to a great cast and crew, the show is also still undeniably entertaining. The episodes look and sound great. The interviews are especially informative and involving. Overall, a quality set. Square Pegs - The Complete Series is a 3-disc (491 min.) set featuring all 19 digitally remastered episodes; Full Frame (1.33:1) video; English Dolby Digital audio; French subtitles; Closed Captioning; and the following Special Features: "Weemawee Yearbook Memories" - Retrospective interviews with the cast and crew, and Minisodes: The Facts of Life "Sex Symbol" and Silver Spoons "Hey, Mrs. Robinson".
