''Square Pegs'' is a HighSchool {{sitcom}} on Creator/{{CBS}} from 1982 about a pair of "unpopular" teen girls, Patty and Lauren, struggling to fit in with the "popular" kids at school. Joining them in the struggle are two teen boys, Marshall (who hopes to become the ClassClown) and Johnny Slash (who happens to be [[TheAce talented at a lot of things]] but is too much of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} to appreciate it).
Despite its [[TooGoodToLast very short]] [[ScrewedByTheNetwork runtime]], the show retains a cult following to this day. For everyone else, it's most well known for [[RetroactiveRecognition unleashing]] SarahJessicaParker on an unsuspecting populace.
