USA UP ALL NIGHT: Heartbreak High (1981)

EDITOR’S NOTE: Heartbreak High was on USA Up All Night as Crunch on May 9 and October 16, 1992; June 19 and December 10, 1993.

Also known as The Kinky Coaches and the Pom Pom Pussycats, this has the City High Moose, led by Coach Bulldog Malone (John Vernon), playing the Johnson High Eagles, coached by Alan Arnoldi (Robert Forester), for the Chester W. Hick Cup. Malone sends Weasel (Paul Backewich) to film the other team’s plays and that’s the least of the cheating that goes on.

Everyone is either screwing each other over or screwing each other, all while sportscaster Jack McGuire (Norman Fell) comments on everything.

This is a co-promotion between Sandy Frank and Astral (thanks, Canuxploitation!) and that means there are a lot of North of the Border stars, like Kimberly McKeever from Scanners as the Eagles quarterback, Thom Haverstock from Terror Train as the City High QB, and Christine Cattell (Bedroom Eyes) as a cheerleader.

Director Mark Warren directed numerous TV shows, including BensonThe Dukes of HazzardBig City ComedyThe Wolfman Jack Show and more.
