I admit it...I was a Pepper Ann fanatic in middle school. I watched this show religiously. Most of the episodes were pretty darn funny, with a satisfying amount of adult humor to amuse most anyone.
I enjoyed the show, but some of the things Pepper Ann did were just plain obnoxious. She gets kind of irritating as a main character after awhile, but hey, I'd assume any 7th grader would.
Stereotyped? Hmmm. A bit, I think, but nothing too bad. I did have problems with some elements and characters, including situations where the solution was so damn obvious I wanted to jump into the TV and yell at them.
But hey, I'm sensitive. This show was great, did NOT belong on such ranks as Toon Disney, and deserved more credit for it's time.
