Anyone else remember this show? Only lasted one season in 2001 (somewhat ironically, my Freshman year as an undergrad as well :laugh:)

For a comedy show, I always thought it was really good and covered a lot of deep topics and issues, that the majority of college Freshmen go through.

Really wish it had lasted longer, it had the staying power to do at least a few more seasons. Probably more than that.

And that cliff hanger ending still makes me kinda tear up and makes me really want to know what happened next.

Teletoon committed to a second season, but MTV pulled out last minute and they lost the majority of their funding. Pete Williams the creator has been trying to get it back on the air since production of Season 2 stopped halfway through, even going as far as pitching a new series that featured the same characters. However 2 main hurdle remain, first is funding second is getting the rights back from MTV. But appearantly there has been talk about a one off movie being made.

God, really takes me back... 16 years.

Huge fan when I was 12-13.. when I was 14 the company who produced the show did a fundraiser and one of the ebay auctions was for a DVD of the show signed by Pete Williams the creator which I quickly bought for 90 dollars which was a lot of money for me at the time.

I've been apart of every revival attempt for the show that has gone including the latest one where the writers of the show got a lawyer and started discussing with MTV about getting the rights to it, but believe that is also dead now.

Really like it and had hopes it'd come back. Lost hope as it's been too long.

Clone High is a similar favourite of mine.

I remember I saw a rerun of this on TV one summer, it had to be around 2007. I thought it was great. It was disappointing to learn that there was only one season.

Decent enough show. Most of the jokes at our school were about gimpy at the time

Agree with all the people who brought up Clone High. Gotta put Captain Star on the list as well. Man, cartoons were soooo much better like 15-20 years ago :laugh:
