Being that I was born in the 80's I can appropriately say this show sparked that flame of childhood reminiscence the right way. A good majority of our generation grew up with one parent in the house hold and this show managed to capture the trials and tribulations of that in two different aspects. Also being that High school is typically either one of the most cherished or hated times in a person's life the transition of turning into an adult all while dealing with your emotions, relationships, puberty and sexuality deems that the title "Everything Sucks!" being fairly true at this age. ES! managed to encapsulate all that while growing up in a extremely small town very well. We all miss the 90's, I'm just glad there are shows like this to at least make us feel like this time has yet to and will not be forgotten.
