Trivia:

The main theme song to the show is "The Click" by Good Charlotte. There are many Good Charolotte references in the show. There is a poster of Good Charolite in Cal and Nitz's room. The band also made a "live" appearance in episode 12.

Quotes:

Rocko: Nuhh, oh, hey Nitz! Don't worry, I'm not drunk... I'm just a little drunk... what? Nuhh, hey Nitz! So I went to this party tonight, and they guy at the door said like "you can't come in, you got no pants on your legs!" So I said, "so let me drink your beer!" Buuut, he wanted me to wear pants, and i got too much drink in my drunk, to pants on my put. You know? So I told him I was gonna...

Man, do I love this show.

I just started watching undergrads a few months ago and have seen almost all of the first seasons 13 episodes, which I hope will not be the only ones. Some people may say that the characters on the show are stereotypical, but they have much more depth than mere stereotypes. I see parts of myself and my friends in all four of the main characters (Nitz is so much like me it's frightening). The four main characters (Nitz, Rocko, Cal and Gimpy) are so good it's hard to pick a favourite. It also has a fabulous supporting cast too. One thing I admire about the show is that it depicts friends who are seemingly so different from each other but still remain friends, and that it shows that clicks and groups sometimes overlap into each other. I sincerely hope that MTV decides to keep the show going.
