Greek

Anyone else watch this?
I seem to have become hooked on it somehow. It's no Freaks and Geeks, but seems to remind me of that show a lot.

The commercials that show this attempt to encompass college greek life on a family network almost make me vomit.

i downloaded the first few episodes... It would be better if it didn't try to blatantly copy the animal house stereotypes of frats houses.

And Beer pong WITH paddles.... FUCK THAT.

That was my first thought too! It's Beirut or nothing.

I'm with you, I like it for some unexplicable reason. The guy that plays Cappy is relatively amusing.

Is there a difference in the broadcasts on Family and regular ABC? Seems they cut 10mins from the pilot when they aired it on normal ABC, so they could add more commercials. Would be nice to watch the whole thing, but ABC Family apparently is still stuck in 4:3. I seem to get a more accurate picture when I stretch it to 16:10 - making me guess it was recorded widescreen.

Odd...

They show the HD version on ABC on fridays, I think. We just watch it on ABC family.

I liked this last episode, though the lonelygirl ref. was a bit much. Next week is last episode of the season but according to wikipedia there's 10 more episodes on order that will air early '08.

Not only did this ad cause me to refrain from watching the show, but it makes me despise the Plain White T's more than I already do! Thanks!

fuck the plain white t's
and FUCK hey there delilah

Are those two other shows on ABC Family?

Never heard of the channel before this show... but I wonder why Greek airs on the family channel. It's definitely not something you'd watch with a younger kid - or your parents.

Thankfully there are also no 'educational messages' - like how drinking is bad. There has even been some prescription drug abuse

Not what I'd expect on a family channel.

The channel has whose line... that show is anything but family oriented.

I would imagine it leading to a lot of awkward, "Mommy, daddy, why are you guys laughing?" moments
