I think it was the first show in a guys point of view to get it right. I had so many nostalgiac memories of high school. I mean w/ shows like OTH, The OC, DC, etc, the way its presented, is not necessarily realistic. It was very much fictional, and with this show, the plots weren't out there. They were real.
Hell, the show should have been called:
real life, as we know it.
Im gonna miss it, and there won't be anything else like it, ever!
