I was in seventh grade in 1982-83, this show was great. They had a 24 share the first half of the season, which is huge. The show was moved in Jan. 1983 to a slot competing with the second half of the A -Team. What do you know the show slipped to a 12 share. Unfortunately they definitely lost alot of the boys who watched the show.

Square Pegs debuted on CBS September 27, 1982 in the 8 P.M. Monday slot, and remained in that slot throughout its one-season run. The show struggled in the ratings against That's Incredible on ABC. WGBO in Chicago showed reruns of the series in local syndicated television stations early 1986, and episodes were shown on USA Network in the early-1990s, and later on Disney Channel (for a short-time from December 31, 1996 to January 1, 1997), Nickelodeon/Nick@Nite, Nick at Nite’s TV Land, MeTV and Decades. Square Pegs was recently aired on Catchy Comedy on January 28, 2024 during the "Catchy Binge".

I don't know what the song is here, but if this is a rip of the DVDs, it's because they couldn't get the rights to all of the music. In the original, the dance scene had a B52's song (maybe Private Idaho?); the DVD version had this. And since the DVDs didn't come out until 2014-ish, a song from 2008 is totally possible. TL;DR: because licensing.
