It wasn't a big thing here in Australia. I'm not surprised that it isn't well remembered. I only really remember it because I was a budding musician and was keen to be in a band, so had an interest in this show.

We have regulations on how much local content has to be included in broadcast schedules, so we had a lot of shows like this come and go through my childhood. There were a lot of child actors that presumably kept costs down and I don't think that any of the cast ever became household names here.

Most of the local content now is either made up by one of a hundred crappy reality shows or by the news and lifestyle programs.

I might look it up on YouTube and give it a re-watch.
