I have very vague random memories of this show. I remember it every once and awhile and I’ve never been able to find it. This time I’m determined to track it down!

From what I remember it’s similar to Saved by the Bell. The main characters are a group of high school students. It’s darker and more serious than Saved by the Bell. Based on the scenes I remember it might actually be a drama show but I am almost positive it was a 30 minute sitcom style of show that still had a lot of funny moments.

Here are the only 2 random things I remember for sure:

1. One of the main characters is a guy named Marco. I’m pretty sure it’s Marco but I suppose it could be Marcus. He’s a tough guy type of character. I think a lot of the kids at the school are scared of him. If anyone reading this is familiar with 90’s tv shows, this guy is basically a Jake Summers from California Dreams ripoff. He might even wear leather and ride a motorcycle.

2. There’s an episode where one of the girl main characters gets involved with an all girl gang. The gang has her cornered and they are trying to get her to beat someone up. She refuses and they tell her if she doesn’t do it they’re gonna beat her up. Marco comes along and threatens to get his sister to deal with the gang girls. His sister is as tough as he is and all of the girls know who she is and they’re scared of her. They all leave. I remember a conversation between Marco and one of the girls something along the lines of “come on Marco, you wouldn’t hit a girl would you?” And he says “No, but my sister will”

I know I watched more episodes than this but that’s the only specific one I remember. I remember it always being about things like gang activity and maybe drugs and other darker things which has me wondering if it was actually a drama. Still I am convinced it was a 30 minute sitcom.

Does anyone know what this is? I’ve tried searching these two things and haven’t been able to find it.

Edit to add: I am certain the setting for this show was in a big city like somewhere in New York. I feel like it had a very diverse cast for something from the 90’s.

Edit: I’m thinking this is solved. The comment that gave me the suggestion is deleted. Not sure if they deleted it themselves or it got removed. I hope they come back. I want to give them their point.

Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher seems to be the correct one. I wasn’t able to find all the episodes but based on the few episodes I found on YouTube, the Marco character looks like what I remember, and reading the IMDb plot description of season 2 episode 10 I’m pretty sure this is it.

Thank you to everyone who tried to help! Bigger thank you to the mystery person who gave me this suggestion!
