Trivia

'Jason Segal' and 'Carla Gallo' play a couple where Segal's character is supposedly eight years older than Gallo's character. In real life, Carla Gallo is five years older than Jason Segal. The actors later reunited as an on-screen-couple briefly in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and in an Easter Egg on the DVD, the two have banter referring to their characters on 'Undeclared.'

Quotes

Rachel Lindquist: He doesn't need to go to a doctor, he's getting better.
Ron Garner: No, he's not. He looks terrible. He looks like death. I almost buried him this morning.
Rachel Lindquist: That's because his body is releasing all the toxins.
Ron Garner: He needs a doctor. And not a witch doctor covered in mud, a real doctor with pills and a tongue depressor.
Rachel Lindquist: Doctors don't know anything. My uncle's stomach hurt once, so doctors took out his kidney, and it turned out there was nothing wrong with it, and now he has to go through life with no kidney.
Ron Garner: No,...

User Reviews

Fox couldn't be patient?

The Fox network which usually is patient with their shows bailed out on this very funny series. It was a realistic view of college life from many perspectives. It was brought to you by the same people involved with Freaks and Geeks. A show I never got around to watching but was also critically acclaimed and lamented when cancelled. The cast was very likable and I am sure we will be seeing them elsewhere. If FX or some other outlet decides to start showing these episodes do yourself a favor and watch and enjoy. Will Ferrell's cameo is superb.
