Hmm, I don't really agree with the Ephram one,
everwoodfan. I thought that was fairly realistic. He is different. Different people get picked on. He was lonerish and shy at least some of the times. I mean, in the whole series he only has about five friends that we see. One of them includes Wendell. That's pretty scary.
He likes to be on his own more than most high school students do. He was pretty awkward talking to some of the popular people, especially the girls, at times. He could be really witty with Bright, though. And Amy, of course.
He was an outsider, with purple hair and liked manga. Coming into a school midway through (I believe), coming from a big city and there is that small town mentality that you even see against Andy a bit at first. A little wariness. Unfamiliarity. I really felt the outsider aspect and it made a lot of sense to me.

Why would Bright bully Ephram, just because his sister, Amy was talking to him and trying to trick him into helping her comatose boyfriend?

I think they explained that one, or I might just be making this up?
But I thought Bright was really protecting Ephram from Amy, not the other way around. Because he knew what she was really doing with Ephram, and so he wanted him to stay away from her. Of course, how you stay away from someone that beautiful. But I thought that made a lot of sense, bullying to keep him away from her, but not for the reason most brothers do.
I loved when Andy would yell at Nina, even though it was rarely if ever her fault. Like the porno magazine which was somehow Nina's fault for having in her house.
It was always cute, though, because Andy would have to apologize, and it almost became a part of their banter for me.
Just my thoughts on these latest ones. How I interpreted them anyway.
