I like Tom well enough but he himself is not the actual reason I like these episodes, I just like that his presence leads to some of the most realistic situations in Daria and Jane's friendship. Great episodes with friendship issues I think most people can relate to on some level.

True ! They did get real there !! I always thought Daria was pretty much on point with highschool life ( well I think anyways, I wasn't really in highschool until 2000 ) but it always seemed correct for the most part

Considering that this is a cartoon and a bit exaggerated (as cartons are) this really is a pretty accurate depiction of high school life at that time. I graduated in 1996 and watching this show makes me feel downright weird at points because it takes me back to those years.

Personally, I didn't like Tom. He was fine every now and then as Jane's boyfriend, but once he started dating Daria, he was around too much. Obviously it made sense since they were dating, but the more he was around, the less I could stand him.
I would've preferred if they did his whole arc in just one season (date Jane, switch to Daria, go away for good).
