Fast Times

Fast Times is an American sitcom based on the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High that was produced by Amy Heckerling, who directed the original film. It ran for 7 episodes on CBS from March 3 until April 23, 1986. Cameron Crowe, who wrote the original Fast Times novel and film screenplay, served as creative consultant. Moon Unit Zappa participated as a technical consultant. She was hired in order to research slang terms and mannerisms of teenagers, as she had just graduated from high school at the time and had a much better grasp of then-current high school behavior than the writers. Oingo Boingo provided the theme song.

Ray Walston and Vincent Schiavelli were the only actors from the movie to reprise their roles for the TV series.
