It's cheesy, full of cliches, predictable, it pretty much has only beautiful people in it but, man do I love it ! Brings back so many memories watching this as a teenager. I had a huge crush on Megan (Heidi Bohay).
It wasn't something earth moving, "just" stories about people. An hour of escapeism to be entertaint and enjoy it. The stories ran from absolutely light to really tough. [spoiler] The pilot actually had a group rape and even within the first half dozen episodes there was a psycho stalker and a molested child [/spoiler] - in an 80s family drama nonetheless. But you always got your share of romances, life stories and even a bit politics. You can still watch it today because the scripts are timeless and work as well today as forty years ago.
Sure, it was a product of it's time but every now and then I like to re-live those times by watching the shows I loved growing up.
(I might add to this comment while I re-watch the show)
