Quotes

Lizzie Exley: [everyone has just discovered Steven's Dad nailing his R.A] You want your dad to give you space. Well, you should give him space. How would you feel if he said we couldn't go out?
Steven Karp: I guess so. God, this sucks.
Ron Garner: Yeah, man. Let's go back and see if they're doing the hog.

User Reviews

A show that would have done what Friends did to its actors

A shame this show was canceled from FOX. But I guess they needed to make more room for crappy Reality shows and more room for new Sitcoms and cartoon shows that they will yet again cancel so it becomes a full circle (Futurama, and the godly Family Guy).

The show itself was smart, hilarious, and all characters were different, unique and everyone could relate to one of them. From the party/girlgrabbing Brit to the meek lead character played by fellow Canadian Jay, the Virgin, the Skank and we can't leave out the Moron and the Perv/Geek. This show took all the college stereotypes and played it out well. The storylines on each episode were original, quirky, and just plain funny. FOX if it wasn't for the Simpsons and American Idol, you'd be in the gutter.
