A Lost Gem of a Show

I remember this show from 1990. I saw the pilot episode that aired. It featured Carl Anthony Payne as one of the Hull High Devil Rappers (just after years of playing Theo's best friend Cockroach on The Cosby Show and before his role as the dimwitted Cole on Martin) and future Baywatch babe Nancy Valen as Donna Breedlove, who had one of the more memorable musical numbers on the first episode (if I didn't hit puberty yet, I did when I saw that). It aired around the same time Cop Rock hit the airwaves; but Cop Rock, for some reason, did better than Hull High. It also featured Gary Grubbs, who is best known for his role on Will & Grace as Harlan, Will's southern client and Jennifer Blanc who would go on to play Bailey's girlfriend during the first season of Party of Five. I hope this show gets released on DVD in the mere future.
