This show is about a group of teenagers growing up during the 80's. Now before you go "How the hell is that any better than all the other shows about teenagers growing up?" you should go watch an episode because this isn't like those other shows. No one is cliches in this show spouting out one-liners. Everyone has personality to them and every character has their own personal side just like real people. The episodes don't always end in a "oh it's nice how we solved all our problems in a couple days" happy endings. This is a realistic show with realistic stories. And just because it takes place in the 80's doesn't mean its soundtrack will be swarming with top 40 crap. Unfortunately like all great shows, it was canceled after several episodes, but there's a DVD out with all 18 episodes and tons of special features. I think you should really get it. It really is a great series.

Seth Rogan

Samm Levine
Jason Segel
Its been on G4 recently. It's good.
I thought it was so damn stupid when it first aired but it's actually a great show. It's a shame it didn't last long.
Haha. That had some genuinely funny moments.
Woh, that kid on the cover with blue shoes with white stripes is the guy in the show "Bones"
...When he was like 9.

Impossible. All that G4 ever broadcasts are reruns of Cops and Cheaters.

G4 Canada.
:canada:
According to all this I hear about American G4, it's a piece of shit. I get like Tom Goes to the Mayor, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, X-Play, Superjail, EP Daily, Reviews on the Run, Attack of the Show etc. They have a lot of Adult Swim shows on it recently. It's cool.
Canadian TV is awesome.

I live in Canada and we have a show called Reviews on the Run. Are they different shows or what?
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;16233212]I live in Canada and we have a show called Reviews on the Run. Are they different shows or what?[/QUOTE]
Same shows, just different names.
But in the show they say "Reviews on the run"
[quote=wikipedia]Reviews on the Run (formerly known as Judgment Day in the United States) is a video game review TV show hosted by Victor Lucas and Scott Jones (formerly Tommy Tallarico), and produced by Lucas' company Greedy Productions.[/quote]
I think it's the other way around.

God dammit. The only shows that are on G4 are X-Play and Attack of The Show, which is once a day each. Then it's just Cops and Cheaters along with a few showings of some knockoff of The Soup.

I never watched Reviews on the Run fully to know what it is, I saw clips of it though
Haha dude I loved this show. It played in australia for a while when I was a young whippersnapper.
Thank you OP for a dose of nostalgia.

You mean Web Soup? Same producer. Web Soup is basically a televisation of Break.com
There's so many assholes in this show.

I liked this show but I liked Undeclared better, which had Seth Rogen in it, and his Canadian friend from Knocked Up, the one with the maple lead tattoo (he was the main character actually).
