    I'm 17.

    I was 10 or 11 when I started seeing this show while channel surfing, and I was pleasantly suprised with what I saw. Nickelodeon had been the home, at the time, to countless terrible shows such as "Nick Arcade" and "Fifteen". Anyway, if Nickelodeon decides to do something sane and cancel mindless tripe like "All That" and "Kenan and Kel" and replace with re-reruns of this, "Doug", "Finders Keepers" (remember this?), and "Salute Your Shorts", the next generation of 5th graders will be all too better.

    I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. However, I don't remember much about it. If you ask me, it was a good show. Two other things I remember pretty well are the opening sequence and theme song. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I'm not sure if I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

    This show can't be a guilty pleasure anymore, since it was so horrendously CANCELLED! I always watched this show, even if I had no idea as to what was going on. I just thought that was the coolest place (their school), all of those high school shows were cool at the time. Of course, now that I can say 'been there done that' about high school, I can honestly say that the world is full of stereotypes...BRING THIS BACK! Even though it was semi-superficial, I still liked it. We need a new network for all the golden-age Nickelodeon shows!

    i remember when this show was on the air along with other grand shows like "hi, honey i'm home", and "clarissa explains it all". the golden oldies of nickelodeon... *tear, how i miss them so! this show lived longer than "hi honey..." and about, if even, half of the time "clarissa..." i remember the merv, safety advice, because merv was a little runt, and grant was the smart black guy who wore a lot of white and light lime green, and walter was a gross, white trash kid, i believe alex was really popular, and possibly a cheerleader, and erin was the good-girl that was very nature-friendly. mr. lippman, was a nearly bald skinny principal whose boss-man was always breathing down his neck. i can't really remember the begining song like most people usually always remember, but i do remember that this group of people were considered the under-classmen, hence the name, and were looked down upon and teased by the upper-classmen. they also always sat around this little indoor tree thing with steps around the sides, it was their hang-out place. a very good show, i miss it greatly even though i was only in 2nd grade when it was on.

    This was a pretty good show. I remember watching this show and really enjoying it. The plots were interesting, but simplistic. The characters were unique to this show. The principal of the school was funny, and always got into weird situations. I wish this show was still being aired!
