I suppose if I were 16 again I'd be writing a different review, but I'm 59, came out in 1978 and never looked back. This series starts out a bit like what I would envision a Pride Month Nickelodeon Special would be, but it did get better by the fifth or sixth episode. Episode 8 was particularly good. I was a bit disappointed with the ending of the final episode. It was somewhat lackluster. Acting is pretty good overall. Some of the storylines were a little on the fluff side. If you have some extra time, it's a worthy watch.
