Greek - Chapter One (2007)

SCOTT MICHAEL FOSTER!

ok, this whole series is great! i can't wait for the second season on dvd and was glad the series was renewed. but i'm in 'lust' with cappie!

this series is NOT 'animal house' and there is plenty of angst to go around, but basically the series is very funny and very watchable.

Watch "Greek", people. It's not their fault their on ABC Family.

I've only recently gotten into the show "Greek", but I'm so glad I found it. When I first saw promos for the show I dismissed it, because, um...it's on ABC Family. I thought it would be a lame - heavy on the PG side of things - comedy series that wouldn't even be close to the college life I've experienced. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised when I finally caught an episode a few weeks ago, and then promptly ordered the DVD set.

"Greek" is such a witty, fun show. It doesn't sidestep the racier elements of college, but it also doesn't make it it's primary focus either. The characters are awesome (I heart Dale. Outside of infomercials, you don't see many Christian rock loving characters on TV) and the relationships are complex, realistic, and inspire many a chant of 'OMG. Just get back together already!'. Cappie and Casey, I'm looking at you. And I look menacing.

As for the DVD set, there isn't a whole lot on there. But I enjoyed finding out what roles certain actors tried out for in the beginning (Scott Michael Foster/'Cappie' was originally going to be Calvin? What?), only later to get another role instead. Also, some of the guys in the cast do commentary for one episode and much hilarity ensues. May 24, 2008

Great fun!

Greek - Chapter One

This show is quite refreshing. In the midst of all of the shows aimed at teens which aim to show teens acting beyond their years, this one is much more young and fresh. Sex is not at the helm of this show, and only a couple times has it been a centric theme. It shows a group of young adults enjoying their lives, freedom, friendship and college. This is what I wish my college experience would have been like. May 20, 2008

very nice surprise

It's about time! a show about teenagers which isn't only about a boy and a girl being together and talking about how they feel for each other over and over (we have some but it's not only about them).So we follow the freshmen year of several characters when they arrive to college.Of course we have all the cliches of the genre (betrayal,love,friends,ect...)but in a light and not too soapy way.It's like American Pie became a TV show without the horny geeks (we still have some though,but they're not the main characters).Plus,there's a big change compared to the shows of my youth,the gay guy (who isn't a crazy queen or a depressed kid who feel cursed) is as important and developped as the rest of the characters of the show,and it's a nice and modern way to put it.And of course,the soundtrack is huge! Hope it will be released in France,where I'm from. April 15, 2008

Pretty good show but it doesn't properly portray life

While one understands that this show has to be entertaining in order to survive I believe that it doesn't properly showcase what being a member of a Fraternity/Sorority is about. While there is quite a bit of truth behind the antics of the characters it seems that it is overdone... almost to an "Animal House" level. April 15, 2008
