New TV show based on Greek Life

Some of the inaccuracies were ridiculous (like the fraternities having a quota and one person being able to give bids). I certainly didn't expect the "I'm not gay, I was just drunk" twist. Oh, and some of the acting - yeesh, I haven't seen emoting this wooden since Facts of Life season 1.

It was funny - the way the SNL Tri-Delt skits were funny. However, I wouldn't want younger kids to watch it and think that's really what Greek life is like.

Is it just me or is Cappy really Kutcheresque?

Ah! That's who he reminded me of!!! The name of the actor was on the tip of my tongue during the entire program, just couldn't think of it.

Cappy was some great comic relief.

"Call me!"

The youngster "Rusty" really reminded me of "Jason Melon" - Rodney Dangerfields son in "Back to School".

I somehow doubt that Animal House got this much negative publicity when it came out.

Animal House was also an R rated movie in theaters, not on a TV channel whose largest audience is 12 year olds.

I'll bite - Greek Advisors all over the country were asking Greeks to boycott Animal House.

Yeah, right.

I didn't get to see it, but the reception by greeks seems to be decent. I doubt it can add anything worse than whats out there, so i'm going to give it a chance.
