Another chance for DiCaprio to cut his teeth on a TV version of a well-known movie property (after Lassie and The Outsiders) .

Leo was one of the Buckman kids, and he earned pretty good notices considering the show's limited one season run (only 12 episodes were made).

The show also benefited from the fact that it wasn't as terrible as some of the other movie-to-TV adaps doing the rounds at the time, including Ferris Bueller, Uncle Buck and Working Girl.

Does he die? No, but the show was killed after one series.
