That guy was cool. A "totally different head." ;D
I forget his name, but he went on to play the son of Admiral James T. Kirk in Star Trek 2 & 3.

The late Merritt Buttrick, who died of AIDS soon after. Haven't heard anything on his friend. I think he quit show business like the girl that played Lauren (Amy Linker or Linkler)

I forgot what his name was too, I know the dude sadly died sometime in the 80's. From complication with AIDs I believe.

The BEST '80s teen show. Only in retrospect can we see how satirical it really was. Too bad they made so few of them.
:\'(
The silver lining is that in reruns you have a very good chance of seeing the special appearance by
DEVO, performing That's Pep !
:)
I have the theme, Square Pegs by The Waitresses on one of my mix CDs.

I would've liked to see a Square Pegs reunion today with Sarah Jessica Parker. ;D

I might have agreed with you Howard, if it wasn't for the 1989 untimely and unfortunate death of actor Merritt Butrick. I wish that CBS had had more faith in the show back then, I think CBS had a potential gold mine on it's hand, at least for a couple of seasons until at least say 1986 or so. But, NOOOOOOOOOOOO, CBS was too stupid to see what they had in "Square Pegs". ("Gag with me a spoon, CBS.") I definitely feel that "Square Pegs" presented the teen years (both good and bad) in a much more realistic light (but funny as well) than ABC's later anemic comedy show, "Head Of The Class". (Of course when "Square Pegs" was on in it's one season, 1982 - 1983, I had just turned 19 years old, while with "Head" I was already in my 20's.)
