A Great Show!!!

During its brief three year run, SWEET VALLEY HIGH was my favorite show. Cynthia and Brittany Daniel were wonderful in their roles of twin sisters Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield...I found that I couldn't miss a single episode, which was unlike me, and taped the ones that did air, watching them over and over...this was a truly underrated and mostly cleverly written show...I really wish it had gone on for a few more seasons, or at least continued on in SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY...I hope this reruns soon..
