** While certain pairings (Will/Brian; Reicther/Brock; Casey/Brock) frequently end up in the same class, never once has the entire main cast ended up in the same class. The closest they ever got was Senior Year when Brian, Ellen, Reicther, and Casey ended up in the same chemistry class.
** Criteria numbers 2 & 3 are more true for scenes in the lunchroom, where things get weird and lively. However most scenes in classrooms are usually devoid of any whackness, often showing the Main cast being bored out of their minds.
