A group of California teens play in their garage band as their lives weave and intertwine. Kelly Packard (who had later success during the final breaths of "Baywatch") is the only real notable performer here in this blatant rip-off of "Saved by the Bell". NBC decided to double up on their live-action Saturday morning lineup with this program that is almost a seamless carbon copy of its inspiration. As usual the attractive cast, hot sounds and standard teen stories were the calling cards for adolescents who had outgrown "The Smurfs" but were not quite ready for "Beverly Hills 90210". In spite of limited substance and unoriginal ideas, the program still ran for six seasons on the famed network. 2 stars out of 5.
