Review of TV 101

TV 101 (1988–1989)
It is, indeed, a shame

I, too, feel bad that this series did not last more than one season. In fact, TV 101 dealt with an issue that is at the forefront in people's minds today, but not during the time of which it was on the air (1988 - 1989) --- homelessness.

Although I do remember bits and pieces of the context of the series, I do remember during the Christmas period of, I believe Alex Desert's character Holden, discovering a schoolmate living in the basement of the school because the student was homeless and did not have a place to stay. This particular issue and many others which were dealt in a mature and dignified way, made this series stand out amongst even some of today's TV series.

It is a shame that it did not live longer and continue to put forward excellent story lines.
