The Kyon order is definitely better for first time watchers. The anachronism adds to the illusion that the Haruhi world is already established and developed, which represents the very random/bipolar personality of its main mistress, Haruhi herself. The show does many things well and puts them all together in an excellent balance. Haruhi order is better if you're trying to wrap your head around the show after having seen it in Kyon order. Just leave out the middle six episodes of Endless Eight, and add in the other six episodes from the second season and you've got a pretty solid storyline. If you can handle the K-On-inspired animation.
Because FS/N came out before TTGL, as you know. GAR was defined from Archer. Without FS/N, there would be no definition of TTGL's variant of GAR. Before TTGL, FS/N was by far, the manliest show around in the public (4chan) consciousness.
Don't worry, Trix. There's no way he'll watch the really good stuff without getting through thesooner or later. I still watch Pokemon.
