I have not seen it yet, but the friends I heard from thought it was funny.

Just found out it looks like Fox is re-broadcasting Tuesday night’s episodes tonight, so I might either watch, or maybe even DVR so I can watch over the weekend and skip through commercials.

I watched it on Hulu last night. I've already decided who I think the murderer will be and what plot twists will be involved. Will have to see if I care enough to watch more.

They used almost an exact copy of Alpha Phi's crest in the show, but with the letters KKT

YESSS it does look like the Alpha Phi crest! The minute I saw it I recognized that they had "lifted" an image of a real crest. How lazy of them to do that!! And, in case you can't tell by my log in name, I am a Kappa and I do not like it one bit that the sorority is KKT and goes by Kappa! Really, Ryan Murphy? Why not make up a greek name? Why slander Kappa Kappa Gamma?

There was also Alpha Omega Pi who went by AOPi in the movie "Pumpkin." Sadly, this isn't without precidence.

Right! It's so easy to stick together some random Greek letters, why use something so close to our actual letters and nickname? I don't think the show Greek was any worse/unrealistic because they used made up letters.

Plus Greek wasn't quite so outrageous. I did like that show. But idk, I might give Scream Queens a little more time.

Did you mean Glee? Ryan Murphy had nothing to do with Greek.

I know Ryan Murphy was not involved with Greek, but it's an example of a show about fraternity/sorority life that didn't feel the need to copy or sound like established houses. (And it's a great show!)

So FUNNY

If you are watching this cause you think it is about Greek Life you are missing the point. The one liners were endless and I thought it was one of the funnier shows I have seen on TV in a LONG time. I will keep watching for the laughs and the one liners

'We are hitting golf balls at the hippies'
'Mrs B go organize the garbage'
'You're only hot to me it other people think you're hot'
'Everyone wants to get with me'
'Sharmaine, why you got a knife in your throat?!'

There are hundreds of them. Animal House meets American Horror story. I am a fan!

The "Bro, are you going to touch my wiener?" scene was the funniest part for me.

For me, it was a yawn. They shot for satire and missed.

I agree. I watched it tonight. It was just too far out there to be satirical.
