Breakfast All Day

 It's one of those shows that are impossible to fully appreciate later because it's connected to the zeitgeist of 90s conspiracy theory pop culture (which was shattered by political and cultural realignments after 9/11), and because it had a big storytelling/stylistic influence on other TV it just seems like a half-baked version of a more modern show as opposed to a big evolution over what it was competing with. It was the perfect teenager show at the time because it seemed edgy and sexy, so you missed out.
