This is a weird one I could use some help with as it’s driving me crazy at work.
When I was a kid in the late 80s/ early 90s, I saw an episode of a tv show where a girl was having trouble impressing her teacher with a self portrait project. Eventually, she takes a nude self portrait in the boys locker room and the teacher grudgingly accepts it as art. Does anyone else remember this and, by extension, what show it was? This was a huge part of my sexual awakening and not being able to find it online is driving me nuts.
David Allen
Rocko's modern life. End of conversation.
Kevin Brown
Nah, live action. My folks were watching it. In my memory, it was an hour long series on in prime time on a network and it wasn’t played as sexy since the girl was about fifteen.
Carter Bailey
Sounds like 'life goes on'
Landon Garcia
Was there an episode about that? I found one about a nude painting but that was it.
James Miller
Idk, I'm.jist guessing. Paige was a fucked up little teenager
Aaron Bell
I’ll dig a little deeper on Life Goes On, but I think it was a wholesome strait-As type of girl which is what made the nudity so “brave” and artsy.
Gabriel Roberts
Do you remember anything about the other characters that might jog my memory?
Oliver Perry
I don’t remember much about it in general. I remember it being on about the same time period as The Wonder Years and I remember she had one of the boys help her because she needed access to the locker room (I think). It’s a shadow of a memory.
Carter Garcia
Doogie howser?
Nolan Green
I don’t think so. It was a high school show.
Henry Bailey
why the trap tho?
Jeremiah Jenkins
Man that's hard to pinpoint.
Isaiah Walker
My so called life sounds about right.
Jaxson Powell
Oh shit. This nigga might be right.
Isaiah Gomez
He might be. I was just hoping someone would specifically remember this. If that’s as close as I’m gonna get, so be it but you never know if someone might have a grasp on some specifics.
Caleb Nguyen
Looking at the episode list, I don't think this is it.
A bunch of melodrama about being homeless or kids being weird about sex, but no art projects.
Benjamin Bell
That’s what I thought. I spent about half an hour searching this morning and found nothing because all of the keywords just as easily describe porn.
Ian Myers
Or get you vanned.
William Sanders
Vanned?
Aaron Howard
You'll take a ride on the party van
Ryan James
Newfag detected
Aaron Foster
Are you sure about the timeframe? And that it was a highschool show?
Nicholas Roberts
No party vans, thanks. I just wanna find this show.
Jayden Peterson
It was when I was a kid and young enough that I had no say in what was watched at night and I was born in 82 so late 80s / early 90s seems right. And they may have been in jr high. I was a kid so everyone seemed way older. But it seemed like the show (or the episode) dealt primarily with school life.
Austin Green
Could've been a subplot to thirtysomething or party of five. Those shows were around then too. (Born in 80)
Nathaniel Walker
Definitely not the original twin peaks.
Jose Sullivan
Party of Five would have, for sure, been too late.
Evan Perez
goddammit now i have the same problem as OP
Austin Hill
Beverly hills 90210, then. Way earlier, Spelling started whoring out his daughter with that show. And while we all knew better, brenda (Shannon Dougherty) was supposed to be an intelligent good girl.
Jonathan Brown
That would have been too late. My parents never watched that kind of stuff. They had given up on anything considered cool by then.
Camden Brown
The breakfast club. The girl got detention for it.
Camden Campbell
You mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Christopher Torres
Well this seems to have dead-ended. Thanks anyway guys. My search continues...
Ian Sanders
God speed you, black emperor.
Jeremiah Lopez
I’ve got my fingers crossed. Someone out there has to remember it, right?
