Petition ABC Family to Cancel "Greek"

[LPIDelta]

I watched a re-airing and, while I don't plan to tune in regularly, I didn't think it was a bad show. The show portrayed things that do actually happen (admittedly not to everyone but its drama/tv), and I was pleasantly suprised by the correct use of terminology. Its not the evil that some of the responses would portray it to be...and like everyone said, its not good enough to last too long.

Is it bad that I really don't care if this show exists or not? This show won't change the good things Greeks do, nor the stupid things that college students do. It's not going to encourage positive or negative behavior or stereotypes any more than normal... and if it brings more people out to recruitment, that's a good thing. They'll get an idea of what it's really all about then.

ABC Family is like Lifetime-- there aren't any "Must Watch" programs airing... it's something you watch when you are flipping channels and nothing else is on.

I could see them giving it a little extra "life" just because of their online forums...if the fourms stay popular, they'll continue the show past it's prime.

as an alum, I agree. Things were exaggerated, but that's TV. I've never seen a show focused on high school or college that was accurate, since they all seem over the top.

However, I think some of the spirit is there. I'm not happy with the portrayal of alot of the sorority girls as backstabbers, but nothing is perfect.

I full admit i'm sort of addicted to the show
