I was 11 or 12 and used to watch this over and over back in the day. I watched it last night with my wife for the first time in about 15 years. It's funny, every line, moan, noise that is made in the movie is familiar. I do admit, some of the scene are completely stupid and embarrasing to watch now.
The scene at the ned when they have the prom (Carrie) scene, there were some girls in full frontal nudity, I don't remember that scene from the 80's cable days.
Also, this movie spoofed several 70's movies:
Carrie
The Exorcist
Taxi Driver
....I'm trying to think of what other ones were spoofed.

When I think of 80's teen comedies sometimes I will think of this movie. I think my mom actually rented this, which is shocking to me, and we watched it and she would tell me to close my eyes at nudity. It seems like they made women's bras pop off over 10 times, so now I'm wondering if I remember it right. I seem to remember a beach scene with maybe a beauty contest? Is that in the movie?
I may have seen this on cable though. If it was rented it would have had to have been mid to late 80's, because I was born in 80. I can't think of why it would have been easily accesible to rent years down the line unless they re-released it to cash in on Charles In Charge? There was also a time when an older girl at church would stay over with my mom and we would rent movies, so maybe she had a crush on Baio and got my mom to rent it and she didn't see the cover? I wonder if it's worth tracking down just to try to settle this memory mentally.
