New TV show based on Greek Life

[SoCalGirl]

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

[dvs-dz]

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!

They also cut the beginning scene at the ZBZ house where you assume rush has started--where a PNM and a active start fighting---but then you find out that they are both actives and they were just doing a rush skit. I was kinda sad they left that part out.

Ok, so the acting is bad, but I kinda like the show. Yes it does play into stereotypes, but we also have to remember there are chapters of sororities who live up to the stereotypes, so its not 100% inaccurate.

They also cut the part in the bathroom where the Senator's daughter says she's looking for her rape whistle. I'm sure a lot was edited for content and some for time but I don't think they edited it well. The scene where Casey and Evan have dinner is pretty important.

I joined that virtualrush.com site to see what the fuss was about. My screenname is "aridiculousshow" so uh why all these lil kids "digging me" and asking me to vote for them? Is it not apparent that I believe it is A RIDICULOUS SHOW?? Hmmm... I love kids!

Just like real life.

I actually enjoyed it. And if anyone is stupid enough to believe that's what Greek Life is really like, well, they'll probably be eaten alive in the rush process. Their fault.

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!

She's talking about ABC vs ABC Family. The version that was heavily edited was the ABC version.

It was ABC Family vs. ABC (edited).

I just went through my DVR from last week (from ABC Family on July 9th) and the rape whistle and the scenes dvs-dz mentioned were all included.

I haven't seen the download from iTunes. I'm guessing they probably have it?

I know that the pilot was presented with limited commercial interruption, so maybe that's why some scenes were deleted...to accomodate commercials.

I saw the downloaded version from iTunes and it included everything...although I don't remember the "rape whistle" part (but i wasn't paying a lot of attention to that part, so it might have had it)
