I remember looking this show up for some reason or the other because I saw it had something to do with Van Halen being played on the show. Apparently the show played Not Just The Hits of CVH back in the Day (IE You Really Got Me, Runnin' With The Devil.) They played some of the rare shit too (Little Dreamer, Ice Cream Man.). The show is a realisitic look at High School in 1980 and Era when Van Halen and Dave were kings. Think of it as The Complete Opposite Of That Gay Dawsons Creek Show.



You Really Got Me Is played like 30 secs. into the clip while these guys talk about wearing a Molly Hatcher T-Shirt to church and getting yelled at by a teacher. I Just found this really cool they used a CVH song on here, Anyone auctually seen like all of this show?

I have the complete series on DVD. "Everybody Wants Some!!!" is played in a later episode. I HIGHLY recommend this criminally underrated series as well as "Undeclared" which was written and produced by the creators of "Freaks And Geeks." Both are very realistic looks at High School in the early 80s (Freaks) and present day college (Undeclared). Also of note, Judd Apatow who is one of the producer / writer of these two classic shows is also behind "The 40 Year Old Virgin."
