  • I always wonder if American High Schools are like these shows

    in real life. With big auditoriums, no uniform, lockers and those weird desk / chair combos, people leave as soon as the bell goes while the teacher shouts out next week's assignment as they leave.

    steinbolt | 13 Jun '14, 13:14 | X
    • and all of the students are in their mid to late 20s

      and unfathomably attractive

  • Buffy outgrew High School for much of its run

    Favourites are My So-Called Life and Friday Night Lights.
    I haven't seen Freaks and Geeks, but it sounds like I should.

    confrontedbybears | 13 Jun '14, 13:26 | X

  • dawsons creek (was that high school?)

    I only saw one episode of that, where some guy got a blowie on someones boat and crashed it or something.. is that what all the episodes are like?

    Matt_was_taken | 13 Jun '14, 13:31 | X
    • sort of but they moved on from high school after a few seasons

      The 'Creek was kind of a guilty pleasure of mine.

      wewerewerewolvesonce @Matt_was_taken | 13 Jun '14, 14:58 | X
      • do you remember the episode I saw?

        Matt_was_taken @wewerewerewolvesonce | 13 Jun '14, 15:05 | X
        • yep iirc

          it's the episode where Dawson fools around with Eve and crashes his Dad's boat, generally Dawson's plays it fairly safe unlike say...Pacey so I would say it's fairly atypical behaviour.

          wewerewerewolvesonce @Matt_was_taken | 13 Jun '14, 15:13 | X
          • :D excellent!!

            good to see Dawson getting some action

  • Screech, Zach, Slater, Jessie, Lisa and Kelly Kapowski

    When I wake up in the morning and the 'larm gives out a warning,
    I don't think I'll ever make it on time.
    By the time I grab my books and I give myself a look,
    I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by.
    It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell.

    If the teacher pops a test, I know I'm in a mess,
    And my dog ate all my homework last night.
    Ridin' low in my chair, she won't know that I'm there,
    If I can hand it in tomorrow, it'll be all right!
    It's alright, 'cause I'm saved by the bell.
