I didn't watch it when it aired but I think I watched it during the pandemic on a streaming channel and it deserved more seasons and I love Linda Cardellini
One of the most criminally underrated shows ever. Along with every character being realistically fleshed out, Tom Wilson (Biff Tannon from BTTF) as the PE teacher is one of the most heartwarming performances out there.

Extra awesome because Wilson was bullied horribly as a kid like Bill was so he really related to that character.

I’ve noticed a pattern. Changing the time slot is usually code for “Let’s set this show up to fail”.

I remember the DVD being way more expensive than a lot of other shows likely due to them making sure the DVD retained the probably expensive to license music from the broadcast run

I'm a HUGE "Dawson's Creek" fan...so I can't BELIEVE how I totally overlooked that Busy Philipps and Seth Rogen reunited in a 2003 episode of Season 6 called "Rock Bottom"!!!!! They even share a scene I am 100% sure was improvised between the two of them!!!

I went to the same High School as Paul Feig, the school F&G is based on. Chippewa Valley HS, in Clinton Township Michigan. It’s why the fictitious town the show is set in in called Chippewa. There’s an aerial view of the school on the supplemental features of the DVD. Feig is probably the most famous alum of CVHS, along with Hailey Mathers, Eminem’s daughter.

I was late to this show, didn't see it untli the late 00s or so, but my sister-in-law made me watch it with her and I absolutely loved it. That said - FUCK that ending! Sure Sam 'n the boiz had an okay end, along with Daniel and them, but...Linsey becoming a deadhead!? HERESY!

yeah it was an odd finale because of that.
I am surprised...except for maybe 2-4 of those people, I know of ALL of the rest of them...where I'm surprised is 1) How many now famous actors there are in this one TV show, and 2) I had NO idea this show existed, outside of hearing the name of it a few timers!!! If I would've known, I would've watched...I like these actors, and the show seemed like something I would weatch (I was a nerd....erm, STILL a nerd...but I OWN it, lol!)

It never aired in my country but from what I see here, it seems to neither really relate to geeks nor populars. Also no clear character arcs and too much self inserting. My country has a very different schooling system so the American middle/high school experience is quite alien to us. After elementary school, students get segregated by performance and sent to different types of schools and they really are also physically different ones that different places. There are also no competitive school sports and all the other extracurricular activities usually.
Personally, I have a different theory as to why the show didn't make it. I don't think most people who were unpopular and bullied in high school enjoy reliving that. I don't think most people who were popular relate to it. In short, I don't think it provided the escapism most people are turning to television for.
