And it has begun.

I know the OP was just trying to find out information, so I'm not purposely flaming him/her... but I just find the reference to be funny. Quite funny actually

you know what would be really scary? if some of the writers wanted to do research about greek life and were lurking around this site right now.

I just saw the show last night and I was thinking the same thing. Dude's answer to "why are you rushing?" at the Omega Chi house was too generic for me. Why did everyone look around like whoa? LOL!

I caught 5 minutes of this show and quickly turned it off. It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

The writing is awful. There is no originality. The writers used every cliche and stereotype within the first 5 minutes. What were they going to do for the rest of the show? Plus the acting was terrible.

I don't think this show is going to last. It's not a train wrck. It's just bad TV.

The greek references and the absurdity of what they had greeks doing pissed me off.
The storyline between the brother and sister I thought was kind of interesting, I just didn't expect it to be resolved, semi-resolved by the end of the episode. She was a typical older sister, not wanting your brother around. I felt that exact same way, albeit, in high school. I totally understand the annoyance of having your little brother come around and invade in your "turf".
I found some of the storylines interesting, hated the greek references, but my roommate was like 'take it with a grain of salt'. Because let's face it, NO ONE wants to do a show on the reality of greek life. Yes, there would be some drama, but the reality is I think people would say "god their boring" and that doesn't make good television.

The ABC airing was heavily edited! I enjoyed the cable version better.

I just noticed three scenes deleted (and they were also deleted on the rerun on ABC Family last night):
1. Rusty entering the sorority house
2. The Kappas deciding to give Rusty a bid
3. Casey and Evan having dinner together

I'm assuming the cuts were made for additional commercial time. I imagine ABC was able to sell more ads for the show between Monday night and Friday night.

I think one of my favorite parts was the Kappa bid written on a post-it!

This might be a stupid question...but what channel is the cable version on? Are you talking about ABC v. ABC Family? Or ABC Family v. another channel?

I watched it on ABC Family and so I'm guessing that was the one that was heavily edited because I don't remember any of the scenes you're talking about and I want to see them!

ROFL if you think a show is not going to last because of these things you must have been living under a rock for the past 5 years. Look at 99% of other shows on every channel...

Well I apologize for having an opinion. I didn't realize that I needed your permission to have one.

There are a lot of shows that are really good but only last one season. There are a lot of crappy shows that stay on the air forever. I just happen to think this one won't last.

But perhaps I'll just go and hid out under my rug until you tell me it's safe to come out.
