* CharacterDevelopment: Freddie was a bit of a scrawny, wimpy, timid and dorky victim at the beginning of the original series and struggles socially, which in one episode he realizes is part of the cause of his bullying problems rather than just his geeky nerdiness due to his rotten luck and unpopularity. Over the course of the series, he grows a spine, gets tougher, cooler and becomes more resilient, able to withstand adversity and courageously stands up for himself. As the show progresses, he learns to be confident and becomes more optimistic and outgoing. By season four he is much more street-smart, charming and confident teenager version of a tough, cool guy and a straight example of a CoolLoser protagonist.
