Editor's Note
Like his previous television outing FREAKS AND GEEKS, producer Judd Apatow's short-lived sitcom UNDECLARED suffered the undeserved fate of being cancelled after only one season. But just like its predecessor, the offbeat series continues to garner a posthumous cult following with its sweet, funny, smart, and almost painfully accurate evocation of another American adolescent rite of passage: freshman year of college. The pitch-perfect Jay Baruchel anchors the series as Steven Karp, a nerdy everyman navigating both the exhilarating freedoms and poignant confusions of college life with the help of his new dormmates Lloyd (Charlie Hunnam), Ron (FREAKS AND GEEKS alum Seth Rogen), and Marshall (Timm Sharp), as well as girl-next-door coeds Lizzie (Carla Gallo) and Rachel (Monica Keena). Musician Loudon Wainwright costars as Steven's divorc father Hal, who embarrassingly attempts to muscle in on his son's new lifestyle, while Amy Poehler is absolutely hilarious as a RA-from-hell. The series also featured a slew of inspired guest appearances from Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, and, most fittingly, former FREAKS AND GEEKS stars Samm Levine, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, and Busy Philipps. Doing for college what FREAKS AND GEEKS did for high school, UNDECLARED lives on with this collection of 17 episodes from its one and only season.

3 of 5 For a comedy, I sure wasn't lauging... Monday, August 11, 2008
Jennifer from Aurora, IL
I missed this series when it was actually on TV so I wanted to go back and watch it after watching Freaks and Geeks. I'm a Judd Apatow movie fan, so I wanted to see all of his work. Sorry to say, I as pretty disappointed in this series. I absolutely loved Freaks and Geeks, and thought it was very funny for being a drama. Undeclared is considered a comedy and there were very few laughs. The romances were sweet, but the relationship with the father was awkward. I expected a lot more from Seth Rogan and Jason Segel (I'm a huge "How I Met Your Mother" fan, too!) and was sadly disappointed. Overall, not what I expected, but maybe my expectations were too high... Was this review helpful?
