Which singers or bands do you wish would have performed on Square Pegs? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think Romeo Void would have been great on Square Pegs performing "Never Say Never." Which singers or bands do you wish would have made an appearance on Square Pegs, if the show would have lasted longer.

Blondie would have been cool. Though since they broke up in 1982, I guess that would have been impossible.

I'd love to have seen Duran Duran, U2, REM, the Cure, Depeche Mode, and INXS, to name a few. I know REM wasn't really well known at the time, but I believe the others were on the New Wave scene. In particular Duran Duran who at that time were really crossing over from New Wave into a more mainstream pop radio. I'm actually surprised Duran Duran wasn't even mentioned on Square Pegs to be honest. The big group I'd love to have seen is the Clash but at the time I think they were too big.

From Devo on “Square Pegs” to The Flaming Lips on “Beverly Hills 90210."

Here are some suggestions: DeBarge, Rick James, Oingo Boingo, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and Kurtis Blow.

Not great quality video but interesting news report on the risky strategy adopted by CBS to include an appearance by 'noted eccentrics' Devo on the prime time TV sitcom Square Pegs in 1982.
