the make out party episode was probably one of my favorite episodes if not my favorite. bill getting some, really touched me.

David Allen very OTM about Busy Phillips. I've known a slough of girls who remind me of her (or vice versa).

Lupton, I think I'm in agreement with you.

i thought it was just about perfect on every level and really hit upon the first kiss thing. i watched the scene with bill a few times...i love that bill. and the kiss itself was perfect.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Monday, 11 July 2005 12:01 (twenty years ago)

i guess what i liked about it so much was that it sort of reminded me of my first kiss. well technically not my first, but more of my first make out.

my wife was asking me when we watched it if i had fun at make out parties and i told her i never went to one. basically i grew up looking like Gordon Crisp until I hit my junior year in high school and lost 100 lbs. A really good looking freshman girl decided that she liked me and we went out and then went back to her house and she sort of jumped me on the couch. I had no idea what to do, and the part where Neil said "if you do it right, you'll know" made me think of that. it was a great moment in my life.

Undeclared is coming out in August or September.

― milo, Monday, 11 July 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

Undeclared is out on DVD in the US today, with a lot of special features.

I shall be heading directly to Best Buy after work.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:46 (twenty years ago)

im with ya nick.

― bingomcgee, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Damn, I was there picking up the new Stooges reissues and didn't think about it already being out.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 00:48 (twenty years ago)

I have not seen UNDECLARED. what's the deal?

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 01:00 (twenty years ago)

Nerdy kid starts college with wacky roommates. More enjoyable than F&G.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 01:06 (twenty years ago)

should I buy undeclared then? I've never seen it but i LOVE freaks & geeks. I'm thinking about it.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

i bought undeclared last night, mostly on the strength of f/g and the chorus of this thread, and watched a ton of it, laughing out loud much of the time. nyc ilxors are invited to a marathon at my place whenever.

― carly (carly), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

im buying it today after work.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't say it's more enjoyable than F&G. It's more of a sitcom, more jokey, less "heartwarming" than F&G, but still has more heart than like 95% of all sitcoms. It's really funny, and Loudon Wainwright is incredible as the main character's dad.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i didn't like it >as< much, but i knew it had seduced me during the scene where the boys trick the girls into playing truth or dare by scripting the scene ahead of time. just incredible!

― carly (carly), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

does nobody rent shit anymore?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

Ever since the end of late fees, the thrill is gone.

― k/l (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

I caught two episodes when they originally aired and was not as immediately blown away as I was by F&G, but I think it was due to the stultifying half-hour format - they just hadn't worked out how the proper pacing. it was still funny tho. Dunno if I wanna own it...

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

owning these things is really helpful when you are hungover and need to lay around trying to recover for hours on end. they are also great for convincing people to hang out at your house (for friendship or seduction.) i wouldn't buy a show i felt i couldn't watch repeatedly, thus i have buffy, family guy, f&g, marytylermoore. it's like heroin, really.

― carly (carly), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

It's important, no - VITAL, to own shows like Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared so you can make your guests watch them and see if they have a good sense of humour or not (but mostly just to make yourself look cool for "discovering" them).

We watched the first episode again last night and loved the free-stylin dj kid.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

I thought undeclared was awful but then maybe I'm just awful

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

No, cozen, you love Freaks & Geeks enough to be forgiven for a lot of things.

― Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

I might crack out my F&G box tonight

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

do it.

― jeffrey (johnson), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

i went to target, circuit city, best buy, barnes and nobles, and strawberries yesterday and they were all sold out. I was pissed. But then I realized Amazon had it for $33, compared to $49 everywhere else. I ordered it overnight total for $46.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:00 (twenty years ago)

i got mine at j&r computer world after they were sold out at kim's, where i was trying to show loyalty. at j&r, it was 36, and came to 40. with tax. excellent.

― carly (carly), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

I completely forgot about the scene with Marshall and the parrot. Classic.

Oh man and the indian manager at the cafeteria.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Friday, 19 August 2005 11:32 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I've never read this thread before, and I don't think I've ever seen anything on ILX so unrelenting MEAN as what blount did up there. Yikes.

― J (Jay), Friday, 19 August 2005 16:13 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

This show is so relatable it's spooky. I have so many favorite lines, but few more than, "I think our best play is to go for the smart, sexy librarian type. You know, she's sweet and shy but than she takes off her glasses and... RRRRRAR! It's over."

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

Same episode: "Tell your brother he has a beautiful body."

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:58 (twenty years ago)

Sunny's been watching these, and now I've got "Rosalinda's Eyes" stuck in my head for the third consecutive day.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

yeah, im still trying to work out the correalation between the joan jett theme song and peaches 'i dont give a fuck'.

im getting these episode at an annoyingly slow rate since netflix only send one disc at a time and there are only 3 episodes on each disc. my first impression was A)none of these people are good looking! wtf? (busy excluded, of course) B) what is this? an americanized, 80s via 90sfied degrassi? but im really enjoying it now. i still get uncomfortable with the millie and sam's crush scenes because my high school was packed with girls like that and it gives me some bad deja vu. i like nick a lot. i had two friends in high school that had drumkits just like his. anyway, i just watched the episode where lindsey's mom accidently breaks up with nick for her. waiting for more.

"A)none of these people are good looking!"

you are crazy!

― carly (carly), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

is undeclared the show where the british guy hangs out with the main guys dad a lot and adam sandler was in an episode?

― sunny successor (he hates my guts, we had a fight) (katharine), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

"A)none of these people are good looking!"
you are crazy!

-- carly (carlygoodma...) (webmail), Today 11:55 AM. (carly) (later)

hey, i like my tv pretty. i wont apologize.

― sunny successor (he hates my guts, we had a fight) (katharine), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Good Show.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

Yes.

I find basically every female on this show attractive, including Millie. I don't know what's wrong with me.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I believe the secondstring Carrot Top character shared your sentiments, Nick.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

"YEAH, Nick, grab ME a PIECE!"

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

I believe he also had something to say about Millie. Before The Who concert.

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

"I LOVE it when the GOOD GIRLS go BAAAAD."

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

I love that you see the PE coach for the first time and think, "Oh, here it comes, another tiresomely stupid TV coach." And then he turns out to be one of the most likable people on the show!

Come to think of it, that happens a lot on this show.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 22:06 (twenty years ago)

Undeclared is OK.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

I just saw Kevin Corrig4n in the coffee shop. I resisted the temptation to say "you, McMurphy, you come in."

― Redd Sherlock (Ken L), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 22:02 (twenty years ago)

I quit watching halfway through the DVD set, I couldn't really find a way to care about anyone or anything that was happening. Undeclared was so much better.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 28 February 2006 23:11 (twenty years ago)

I just watched the first disc. I am (was) Bill.

boo, hiss!

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 14:52 (twenty years ago)

lauren OTM

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 15:10 (twenty years ago)

Kevin Corrig4n was in 'Pearl'. The end.
