Bonus features include behind-the-scenes featurettes containing brand-new cast and crew interviews. 

Created by Emmy® winner Anne Beatts (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”), Square Pegs debuted on CBS-TV September 27, 1982.  The series also stars Basil Hoffman (Ordinary People), John Femia (The Hat), and Merritt Butrick (Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan).

Quintessential high school “square pegs” Patty Greene (Parker) and Lauren Hutchinson (Linker) struggle with the teenage angst of trying to “fit in.” Their idols are Weemawee High School’s elite, headed by Jennifer DeNuccio (Nelson) , a wanna-be Valley Girl; LaDonna Fredericks, the school’s hippest black girl; Danny Zuko look-a-like Vinnie Pasetta, Jennifer’s boyfriend; and Muffy Tepperman (Gertz), a Jewish princess who joins everything from JV pep squad to science fair organizer.  Lucky for Patty and Lauren, they are ultimately accepted by aspiring comedian Marshall Blechtman (Femia) and wanna-be rocker Johnny Ulasewicz aka Johnny Slash (Butrick).
