Summary: Great series, some Minor quibbles....
Review: I made a half hearted attempt to record all of the episodes off of Teletoon (Canadian Cartoon Network) but never really completed the task. And now I don't have to because I just bought the complete first season on DVD. YAY!!I LOVE this series even more so than my real life, probably because my real life pales in comparison in both entertainment value and humorous content, also, GIMPY IS MY HERO!!! Now on to the quibbles: One, the special features are sparse. I was hoping for a wee bit more behind the scenes stuff like some interviews with cast and crew besides Pete (although Pete is most of the cast and his interview is quite entertaining). I would have also loved to have actually HEARD a few of the audio commentaries (a second ENG 2.0 stereo track does appear on some episodes, but all I hear is a duplicate of audio track 1). Complaint number two is a strange thing that I've noticed when I play the discs on my Toshiba DVD player. At the end of every chapter (ie where there would normally be a commercial) the shows pause and the only way to bypass this is to press the FF button and then rewind to the beginning of the chapter. On the positive side, this only occurs on my DVD player, and is not an issue on the system in the living room, or on my computer. So, although this is an annoyance, it will not result in my returning the set for a replacement. But even with all of that, I still highly recommend this DVD set. Show your support for Undergrads, GET MTV off there behinds and give us Season 2 or at least ONE MORE EPISODE to tie up all the loose ends!!!

Summary: Some people like it, some people don't.
Review: I really like this cartoon. In my opinion, this cartoon is very well made. The animation looks good, and the stories are well written. I did not see this cartoon on MTV, because let's face it, MTV is not really known for giving shows other then the cheaply made (So-called) reality based Television shows, a chance at doing well. So I did not want to get hooked on something, that was destine to be canceled. This DVD set can be found for under 20 dollars, so it is cheaper then most sets. You get 13 episodes, with some behind the scenes footage, commentary, character background info, ect. It is a pretty solid set. I have seen each episodes on TV and on DVD more times then I can count and I still have not gotten sick of watching them. (That's one of the staples of a good show, you never get sick of seeing it) It's up to you, but 20 dollars for 300 minutes of cartoon, seems like a good deal to me.

Summary: Great show!
Review: My only complaint with this show is that there are only 13 episodes. Everytime I watch the last episode I thirst for a season 2. I am in college right now and this show is great at depicting college life. Everything from their RA (The Dougler) to how nerds act in college is great. It might be exaggerated for humor but anyone who has been in college can relate to it.

Summary: Why oh Why could they cut this Show???
Review: Ok, in all honesty, I can see how undergrads could be contsrewed as having a cult following. But it still HAS a following! I was STOKED to get this on DVD because NO-ONE will air it in Australia!
I haven't had the DVD at my house for longer than a week at a time in the last few months, from all my friends borrowing it! The series ROCKS, and to say otherwise is to admit you've never experienced life as a young adult going through university/college! Will ANY network pick up this gem for a second+ season???
If you haven't seen it, get this DVD and enjoy Gimpy, because deep down inside, we all like Star Wars just as much as him.

Summary: I wish there were more extras!
Review: This is a smart and clever show that MTV really never knew what to do with. They never settled on a time slot or a day of the week and, as a result, the show's audience never got the chance to find it. It's running on Comedy Central now (albiet in the middle of the night!) but hopefully folks will be able to catch an episode here and there and appreciate just how good it was. Good stuff.

Summary: It's no "Daria," but it's pretty good
Review: This is another of those animated series that MTV put on in the wake of "Bevis and Butthead," like "Daria," but cast into the Outer Darkness when the characters failed to become Cultural Icons and grab the super giant ratings. (I wish "Daria" episodes were on DVD, too.) No matter. "Undergrads" is the story of four high school buddies who've slipped the parental leash for the first time and are attending college. There's Gimpy, the computer geek; Cal, the idiot ladies' man; Rocko, the drunken frat boy; and Nitz, the somewhat-innocent who's the moral center of it all. There's also Kimmy, the one-year-older object of Nitz's fantasies; and Jessie, who's a friend to Nitz and may want to be more than that. They spend their time learning about life, what they can get away with now that they're out of their parents' homes, and what they can't get away with. Though it's not without flaws (for instance, though the characters occasionally study, they never seem to be in class or with teachers---what kind of colleges do they go to, really?), it's well worth the time to check out, especially now that it's on DVD. There's frank and raunchy humor, a healthy amount of digitally-obscured nudity, and a lot of fun to be had. It's no "Daria," but if you liked that, check this out, too...

Summary: Sweeeeeet
Review: This is probably one of the best cartoon shows ever. Anyone who has lived on-campus will be laughing their heads off. As an RA, I actually have used a few episodes to show new freshmen what college is like. It's an incredibly realistic take. Ignore the review earlier about the cheap animation and the 3/4 view thing. I don't know why that would be such a big deal, but the characters are often shown in profile or from the front. If you enjoy good animation, excellent pop culture humor (as well as physical comedy) and good TV, you should probably get this DVD. It's pretty awesome, guy.

Summary: Must Buy DVD
Review: This show is awesome. I first saw it on Comedy Central and since then, I have been waiting for it to come out on DVD. As you watch the show, you can easily relate to it because the characters probably mirror some of your friends. I advise you to buy this DVD.

Summary: This show is great
Review: This show is really funny, if you have every attended college than you will see some of the people that you conversed with everyday in this show. It is funny, witty, and memorable. The characters, despite their extreme stereotype, are quite lovable. This show really is quite well done and deserves much more than the one season that it has thus far recieved.
