Honestly, this was probably one of the BEST nick shows to air. it didnt really show how to "survive" middle school it showed how to have fun with your friends in those years. i was in middle school during the time when this aired, so it really helped me make the most when i knew my best friend was leaving next year. It was really sad when they stopped airing this show and only did maybe 23-ish things on the list. overall, it is just so amazing and if you have daughters/sons, or friends who are worried about middle school, this show will definetly help them.
