BEST OF TIMES (1986)

This ABC pilot starred 7 teenagers in a 80's style Laugh-In. It told the light and dark side of teenage thoughts with dancing and singing added in for color. It would have done wee in a Saturday morning slot( think saved by the bell), But, alas, it was put up with the big guys and was swallowed up before it even had a chance. Bummer!.
