This show seems to be unanimously loved by virtually everyone that has seen it. After I found out it was the launching pad for guys like seth rogen, jason segal, james franco, and judd apatow I felt obligated to give it a try. I downloaded all 18 episodes and watched them over the last week (i've had a lot of free time). I was really shocked at the lack of humor in the show. Every now and then I'd get a good laugh but a majority of it was dramatic or lame cliché pg jokes. The main reason I stuck it out the entire season was to watch the early work of the future stars. I found it pretty interesting. Also, the lead character Lindsey was shockingly beautiful. She definitely kept my interest. Although, I was a little put off by the episode where she tries pot for the first time and freaks out. It was so exaggerated, it literally seemed like something out of reefer madness. Obvious bullshit anti-drug propaganda. I also found the characters Kim (blonde girl) and Sam (lindseys little brother) to be sub-par actors... to say the least. Especially Kim, the acting was so ridiculous at times that it came to be really hard to take her seriously. Enjoyable series, I guess, but not classic by any means. I don't think I'll ever understand the cult following this show has established.
