Feeny was the only man on the show that ever believed in Eric even when his whole family with the exception of Morgan had doubts he never had doubts. That's why Eric turned so good hearted.

Feeny is so smart, he doesn't go into lecture mode and trash Eric. He looks for co-conspirators to tie up the loose end. He's probably my favorite adult character on any of these coming of age series shows.

“I don’t write people off, Mr. Matthews.” That one line pretty much sums up Mr. Feeny.

"How could you do this to him?" is one of my favorite Feeny lines. For all the crap he gives the boys, he cares deeply about them, and seeing another educator give a student the easy way out to "help" them is probably one of the worst things you can do to a student in his eyes.

For those who didn't know, Eric called the tutor the night before the exam asking for help. She insisted on just giving him the answers, but Eric expressed no interest in cheating. Ms. Heart reiterated by saying how hard the test is. Then Eric caved while she supplied him the answers. As a tutor, Heart was ONLY interested in Eric's looks which is disrespectful. Then she verifies this by demeaning Eric saying he is not the booksmart type. It's even more cruel because Eric didn't snitch on Ms. Heart. Feeny gave her grace by not firing her. She got off very easy.

He just taught 2 amazing lessons in less than 5 minutes.

I love it when he said "we'll you certainly don't respect him" Mr.Fenny standing up for Eric right there I love that line

The subtle acting where Ms. Hart is saying I didn't think he could do it or wasn't the student type and Eric let's out this sharp exhale, he looks down and tenses like? You can see the complexity on why he doesn't think he is a deep or smart student. She doesn't mean to hurt him, she thinks she is helping but it is only hurting him.

Even if he never taught us personally, we're all lucky to have a little Mr Feeny in our lives

I always thought that when the girl said eric wasn't the student type that Feeny took that very personally.

At 4:27: No Eric he's not a good teacher...he's a GREAT teacher and an amazing man! :D

“I don’t write people off Mr. Matthews”

Feeny is brutally honest, cares about the people in his life, and is loyal.

Mr. Feeny was everybody's favorite teacher. Tough but fair, believed in giving second chances and genuinely cared for his students and staff. And not to mention his lessons are so valuable and timeless

I was always saddened that Eric got dumber, sometimes to the point of absurdity, as the series progressed. It paints this moment with a hint of tragedy because, most of the time, no one took Eric seriously because he acted more and more like a fool.

"Well this is what I get for selecting a pretty girl to be a teaching assistant." Feeny = THE MAN.
