i think i must have been seduced by the nostalgia of season one. i would have been the exact age as those kids in 1983. the references felt very personal...
but season two is a snooze. i found it almost unbearably boring. and the "standalone" Chicago episode, with it's requisite wacky but totally underdeveloped band of hooligans, reeked of "backdoor pilot".
i fully expect an announcement on a spinoff featuring that motley crew eminently.
