    HOLY CRAP!...what an ending!..i have to spoiler this 'cause it's pretty big
    Lilly getting hit by the bus!!!!!!!!!!!....i was totally shocked at first, then burst out laughing!, then i felt guilty, one of those scenes you're not sure if you're supposed to be shocked or laugh

    Better ep. then the last two, had a few good lines, season finale next week!

    It was some ending all right. Next week should be interesting, lol.

    You know this how?! :eek:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    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
    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
    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.

    I guess there will be a long wait for series 2.

    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.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    ^ 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 ;)

    The
    I'm taking your balls tonight bit in he last ep and the nutmusk bit in the 1st ep being season highlights for me
    pure gold!!!!!!!!

    Edit the last scene was both
    awwwwwwwwwwwwww and lmfao and WFT ? at the same time

    Brilliant, The coach is a goddamn legend.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,650 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    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.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    ^ 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."

    And i thought
    Lily was dead?
    That was implied, but I never actually thought they'd do it..

    ..
    odds are it's her woken up pulling out her heart monitor (etc)

    WOW epic let down for a season premier :mad:

    The clips at the end for the rest of the season give me some hope though.

    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.

    The bra bit at the start of ep 3 :D

    And this is the paris hilton ep

    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.
