Just can't get enough "Reunion?"

High_school_reunion It's the ultimate guilty indulgence for the '80s nation: Cable's TV Land network's "High School Reunion" is planning a "cram session" for Saturday, April 5. Starting at 6 pm Eastern time, they'll rebroadcast all the episodes to date.

The reality show reunites more than a dozen classmates from the Class of 1987 at J.J. Pearce High School in Dallas. All the cliques are there: the jocks, the hotties, the geeks, the bullies. And just like in real life, some stars of the show have aged better than others.

The reunion takes place in Hawaii over a two-week getaway and is full of the usual dramas: jealousies, fights, parties, you name it. If you don't have TV Land or can't catch the cram session, the episodes also can be viewed at the show's official website, which has plenty of photos (past and present) and background to help fill in the blanks.

The site is worth visiting just for casual fans. There are clips from classic '80s TV shows, a trivia challenge and even an '80s radio station featuring only tunes from our decade.

Looking at the photo I can guess 'the jock' and 'the cheerleader' catch kamonawannaleiya?

They've been to all the Hawaiian Islands, including Idkindaliketapokeya

This show is an absolute and complete train wreck.

You know, the kind you can't look away from. I'm totally hooked on it.
