    Another shocker ending!...on sooo many levels!, this is very balsy of the produers imo, twas a very sad episode as well, RJ was in tears for most no it, no humour at all in this ep. - it felt like a season finale of One Tree Hill, it was all drama and tears.

    Totally different feel to the ep. compared to all the others, but the ending
    Spoiler
    so Lily *IS* dead!, and coma sex...wtf?
    Jenny isin't your atypical cheerleader with hot jock BF stuck up her own arse type....she actually seems really sweet, i do like her.

    I kinda felt for fatty tbh, but did he really think
    Spoiler
    Robin was gonna take him to the prom?
    . I think the writers were digging into personal homecoming experience on this one.

    The ep. was totally out of line with the rest of the season, but i think it was a strong and kinda balsy finale...if the ending stays put. Wow the music was overpowering!...again OTH.

    wtf indeed, lol.

    Love this show.

    It's actually surprising at first just how adult the humor is. Like the semi-hentai scene in Episode 6.

    Don't judge it by the fact it's set in an American High school, or the fact it's made by MTV or the fact that Richard loves it so much (lol, j/k) it's actually very well written and consistently funny.

    ^ well...i wouldn't say it's consistently funny....i think it's rather patchy, but for an MTV show i think it's has or would have a bit of bite, i just wish they showed it uncensored.
    I guess the DVD will have that.

    Love it !!!! But from watching online the bit at the end where they show a snip from the next ep always lies and makes the next one look more raunchy than it actually is. After a full season I have learned to love it and not believe the lies ;)

    Just watched the pilot for this. Better than I thought it would be. About to watch episode 2.

    Watched the 1st season in it's entirety last weekend with the girlfriend.. and enjoyed it!

    Kinda like a slightly tamer version of 'The Inbetweeners' - the dynamic between the three leads sort of reminded me of these three in 'Mean Girls' for some reason.

    Very very enjoyable series that really found it's feet as it went on. The finale was fantastic too!

    Must be starting over here soon, as they seem to be advertising it quite heavily now too. Saw a couple of billboards for it in Dublin and saw a couple of ads for it on TV.

    EDIT: Just checked.. and it's starting tonight on MTV at 10pm.
    MTV 10:00pm Sun 5 Sep

    New series. RJ Berger is a desperately unpopular 15 year-old, but when his anatomical gift is dramatically revealed in front of the whole school, he goes from anonymous to infamous. In this episode, RJ's social life is turned upside down when most of the basketball team is benched

    Just watched all 12 episodes today. Great show. What an ending. I really hope they don't cop out in season 2 though and undo that last scene.

    ^ glad you guys liked it, hope now it's on MTV UK more people can watch and appreciate it for what it is, it's not fine art, it's crude and rude but without the nude....but i think i could attain cult status over time.

    "Best described as Hung meets The Inbetweeners, this laugh-out-loud coming of age comedy is a superb take on the slippery slope of high school's social ladder and an outrageous show that's well worth checking out."

    Bang on the money Basq!....lilly is still around, they never even explained anything regarding that. :rolleyes:

    I watched the first two eps. - they were just OK i guess, more drama it seems.
    Hope it improves in the upcoming eps.

    Episode 3 was the best of them so far.. couple of good moments!

    But I think the show works best when Jenny was with Max and the object of RJ's affections.

    Humourous relationship drama is not entertaining in a gross-out juvenile (albeit witty) show like this.

    Episode 3 was much better - still not as good as season 1, but good enough to hold my interest.
