Plot Summary: A group of girls attending a boarding school experience the joys and the trials of adolescence under the guiding hand of housemother Edna Garrett...

Maybe someone has these on video to rip ?

Also were spinoffs like downunder, inParis etc

Looks excellent

Rich - check imdb but there are early appearances from the likes of Jodie Foster and others so might be kinda fun to just watch them as they become available.

If I get them down will let you know any really worthwhile ok ?

If THIS is the show you are talking about, [ shiver ], I remember trying to watch this show when I was younger. I couldn't stomach it even THEN; and I was only a few years older than it's target audience: 8 - 12 yo!!!

The later shows tried to make the series 'meaningful' by dealing 'thoughtfully' on 'coming-of-age' issues [sex, pregnancy, ect.] but on the whole [as a youngster] it didn't work for me.

I'm sure there are those that will find it amusing, lol, maybe even informative and enjoyable, but trust me; regardless of country-of-origin: This is tripe TV at it's best! :icon_1dancingban

For more of the same stuff with CUTER kids, try 'Full House' or 'Punky Brewster'!! :thumbsup

kev.

Don't know why these weren't moved from [REQ] to [REL] long ago but it's done now.
