I remembered this fondly from my high school days, but more remarkable now for the fact that the lead character, a high school cheerleader, was actually not in her mid-twenties when they filmed it.

I’ve been borrowing this Season 1 set from a friend of mine, and I have to say, it’s quite addictive. Thanks, Kelli! BTW, the Alias DVD image brought to you by the excellent wp-amazon!
