In school, there was at least one kid who always got picked on because they weren't cool; they just didn't fit in. And, when you don't fit in, you are teased--sometimes unmercifully. This is the premise of "The Girl Most Likely To..." Miriam Knight (played by Stockard Channing) is the misfit. Poor Miriam is fat, ugly, and totally unpopular. The kids treat her like dirt and berate her at every turn.. When a car accident leaves her bandaged from head to toe, Miriam is transformed into a beauty. When she notices the wolf-whistles from the guys, she decides to pay her tormenters back "with interest". How Miriam gets her revenge is the real clencher. "The Girl Most Likely To..." is black comedy at its darkest.
