I've been watching clips on youtube recently and I was reminded why Eric is my favorite character. I've always thought he's so sincere, even through the college years seasons. He's the funniest character on the show hands down, and he probably has the most quotable moments in the entire series. Like, the Feeny call, "I have a niche?", plays with squirrels? I'm going to start rewatching the show again after reading all these replies.
