How come the Jewy New York kid has midwestern waspy parents? That's really scary. Then all this dentistry stuff.
Basically this show is to scare the shit out of Jewish kids from New York who are paranoid and terrified of leaving their apartments in the first place, let alone ending up in a midwestern town where nobody wants to talk to you because your Jewy and you read.
Julie Condra was also Fred Savage's rebound girl on The Wonder Years for a little while. I would have been good to her but she married Mark Dacascos instead.
Even as a kid I thought it was just a lame Goosebumps-come-lately. I only submitted because it is pretty dark, plus I wanted to see how far nostalgia would carry it through the hopper.
