[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 439190, member: 7"] In watching the 13 Week Theatre series on YouTube, I stumbled upon the episode featuring SQUARE PEGS, the early-80s sitcom centering on a group of "square pegs" trying to fit into the popular crowd in a fictional valley high school. The host's theory is that while SQUARE PEGS just lasted twenty episodes, it "cast a long shadow", meaning it has had an impact far beyond its original longevity.

Of course, I immediately think of something like GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, the mid-60s sitcom about seven castaways stranded on an island, which is often credited with being the most rerun television show in history, despite lasting just three seasons.
