A OneEpisodeWonder, its only broadcast was a "special preview" on Creator/{{CBS}} on February 4, 1979.

* AnythingThatMoves: Most of the "action" would've centered on CasanovaWannabe male students looking to hook up with their female classmates, who themselves (with one [[AmbiguouslyGay notable exception]]) are [[LovableSexManiac looking to attract their male classmates' attention]]. The pilot episode set up a LoveDodecahedron between several members of the main cast, from which [[HilarityEnsues hilarity was intended to ensue]].
