| | "Undeclared" (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | With `Undeclared' (there couldn't be a more perfect title), Apatow manages to meet (and in a few little ways surpass) the lofty expectations for his sophomore series - although that may require a little bit of watching beyond first impressions by those hard-core 'Freaks' fans. |
 | | In addition to transporting Apatow's actor's into the 21st century (and every piece ripe for satire that that implies), one thing that is different and arguably superior between `Undeclared' and `Freaks and Geeks' is that while `Freaks' mixed teen angst drama with laughs, `Undeclared' is without-a-doubt, balls-out, walking the tight rope of pure comedy. |
 | | What is truly tragic about `Undeclared' is, not so much the show itself, but the infinite potential of it, as it's cancellation seemed to cut it off just as Apatow and his cast were really hitting their stride. |
