Well, I declare!

Undeclared was really not very good and the network may have been right to cancel it (gasp!). Mr. Mouse and I did our best and finally gave up after episode 6, mailing the rest of the DVDs back to Blockbuster.com unwatched. The show was neither funny nor charming; none of the characters were either resonant or endearing; and they resulted to stunt casting early on (episode 3 - Will Ferrell and 5 - Adam Sandler). I'm superglad that Judd Apatow et al. got over the sophomore slump that was Undeclared because it would have been a shame to waste all the potential and talent they displayed in the wonderful Freaks and Geeks.

  1. Both Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared are in my Q. Sounds like I should move F&G up and move this one off.

    I'm into Californication now and starting S3 of Battlestar Galactica so F&G will have to get in line.

  2. As far as I'm concerned, BSG trumps everything.

  3. BSG is crack. You can't just watch one ep unless that's all you have.

    I have been borrowing discs from a friend, but I may have to go out and rent S3. I can't wait for him to finish the season.
