Just wanted to provide an update. It's Feb 2006 and I just started watching the show this year. It is a really good show. The other guys comments from 2000 still apply.
It's a school comedy/drama that follows the life of a family that has a geek (and geeky friends) and a freak (and freaky friends). The show refers to freaks as grungy stoner/slackers.... It has really funny moments where they are really geeky and even sad/funny moments where they are being picked on etc... Sometimes it's sad but funny at the same time cuz you know it's just a TV show. Science fiction conventions, nerdy crushes, bullies, school tests, gym class, cheerleading, mean teachers, nice teacher, teen angst, drugs, parties, mathletes, etc.. all that good stuff... throw in some very traditional/conservative parents and things get quite enjoyable to watch...
I think the more episodes you watch, the more the characters grow on you... I am hooked now... it's a light, enjoyable show. It's comedic, has some drama but just not too much, romance but not too much... most of the time it is just interesting watching the characters react to their situations... and sometimes it makes me reminisce about highschool/junior high... many of the characters on the show remind me of people I once knew... and once laughed at back in the cruel halls of junior and senior high....
I definitely recommend watching/buying/downloading this show.
