I'm not exactly the target audience for this one...but who was?

Back in the early 1990s, "Clarissa Explains It All" was a popular show for young people. It was so popular that I am not surprised that the networks decided to try a reboot a few years later...with an older and more mature Clarissa. The problem is that the show just wasn't very good and it never went beyond the pilot stage.

The show finds Clarissa in New York City. She's about to begin an internship and she's thrilled with life and the big city. However, reality is soon coming to wake her because it turns out she's supposed to intern for a boss (Robert Klein) who is just mean and nasty.

So why did the pilot fail? Well, Klein's character was simply too mean....so much so that it seemed out of place for a comedy. The show wasn't terrible...but needed a retooling before anyone would consider approving the series..which never happened. Not terrible...but misguided.
