Never seen any of it. Is this a show where I can watch in release order, or are there prequel movies and flashback episodes and stuff that need to be reordered?

Also, is there a difference depending on where you watch it? Some shows have censored episodes, removed jokes, or of-the-moment "special"episodes. (Like The West Wing's 9/11 episode)

The show is a very loose sequel to the 1992 Kristy Swanson film of the same name. It's not critical to watch by any means, and plenty of details are ret-conned, but the first couple episodes of the show do make passing references to the film.

The film has a very different tone than the show, but it's got a stellar cast and I've always thought it was a lot of fun.
