Thing I love about this show that doesnt get talked about.

Was this show was mostly shot on location. I loved it made the show that much more real. You can't recreate the dank coldness of a school on a set. Shooting on location made this show that much better because of it. Live action Nick shows theses days have no life. Shooting on set limits what they can do and its always in the same few rooms.

What do you all think?

Totally agree. And adding to that, the fact they probably had to shoot on a budget made it seem even more realistic. Or atleast I'm guessing they shot on a budget, because the show had a cheaper feel in a way (and I don't think Nick threw much money in this cult show). But the fact that they couldn't/didn't dress up the scenery/locations made it much more real. Totally makes me remember my 90's childhood.
