It's Not Real

Okay, so Freaks and Geeks took place at William McKinley High School. So does the new show Glee (which is one of my new favorites, despite what I believe to be blatant misogynism).

What's the deal? Of course, the Internet had something to say about it:

William McKinley High School was the setting of Freaks and Geeks, it's nice to see that they are paying a tribute to that show.

I beleive [sic] William Mckinley High School is a common school name, as most TV sitcoms use it, kinda of like Oceanic Airlines, and 555-5555 etc, President Name High School although used in the real world is used for some reason in movies / tv shows, like east, west, north, etc

Ummm...person #2...do you know that neither of them are actual schools? I love the attention to detail, though.
