I saw this show in the early-mid 90s
It looked like it was made in the late 80s-early 90s from what I remember
the following is a description of the single episode I saw:
A grade school aged boy embarrasses himself at school in front of a girl he likes, so he pretends to be sick to not have to go to school the next day. When he's home sick, he decides he is going to commit suicide by asking for ginger-ale so he can slip in some stuff from a chemistry set that he thinks will accomplish this. His best friend camps out in front of his house to see if he will actually do it. His friend has a bowl cut and glasses, uses the catchphrase, "holly cow" frequently, and eats peanut butter and Brussel sprout sandwiches out of a cooler he brought. Some of the neighborhood kids gather around to see whats up.
Turns out, nothing happens when he drinks the ginger-ale because the stuff he put in turns out to be harmless. His dad, who is sort of a Patrick Duffy type, figures out what he's doing and remarks that he tried the same thing with the chemistry set when he was his age with the same result.
Kind of the same vibe as the Wonder Years but it was somewhat wtf as you can see.
Thanks so much for the help in advance!
