'Only the good die young,' a certain piano man once sang. He could've been talking about Undeclared, the hilarious, yet heartfelt college comedy from Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show). Alas, FOX had even less patience than NBC and cancelled it after 16 episodes, rather than the 17 granted Apatow's other fan favorite, Freaks and Geeks.
Directed by Jake Kasdan (The Zero Effect), the pilot ('Prototype') sets the scene. Steven Karp (Jay Baruchel, Million Dollar Baby) is a nerdy 18-year-old who grew seven inches over the past year and is looking to make a new start at the University of North Eastern California. Well, good news, bad news. At his first party, he makes it with Lizzie (Carla Gallo, Carnivàle), the bubbly girl down the hall--then finds out she has a boyfriend. Worse yet, Steven's dad, Hal (singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright III), crashes it to announce he's getting divorced. Fortunately, Hal hits it off with Steven's roommates: Marshall (Timm Sharp, Six Feet Under), Ron (Seth Rogen, Freaks and Geeks), and Brit chick magnet Lloyd (Charlie Hunnam, Nicholas Nickleby). Other regulars include Lizzie's boyfriend, Eric (Jason Segel, Freaks and Geeks), and roommate Rachel (Monica Keena, Entourage).
Steven's freshman year will be an eventful one. Aside from the loss of his virginity, he'll get his first job ('Jobs, Jobs, Jobs '), he'll meet Adam Sandler ('The Assistant'), he'll hire a speed freak (Will Ferrell) to write a term paper ('Addicts'), and his RA (Amy Poehler) will have a fling with his dad ('Hal and Hillary'). Other guests include Fred Willard ('So You Have a Boyfriend'), Mary Kay Place ('Parent's Weekend'), and Ben Stiller (the Jon Favreau-directed 'Eric's POV'). This set includes all 16 episodes, plus one that wasn't broadcast ('God Visits') and an alternate, Ted Nugent-ified version of the second ('Full Bluntal Nugetry'). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Goofy And Hilarious
What a great cast of outsiders and people you root for to excel throughout their lives. The only annoying character was "Hal" (father of Steven). I could have done without his antics. It's too bad Fox ruined the show by airing the episodes out of order and not giving it a chance.
It is cool to see an early Seth Rogen establishing his brand of humor. Judd Apatow (creator) was a pretty cool guy for consistently giving "nobodies" and "outcasts" steady work. This has a lot of cool extras, including a Q & A section with some of the cast.
Rating: - fun but cut short
It's not the best show that ever was, but the cast is great. I recommend seeing if you liked freaks and geeks.
Rating:  - Fox Sucks
The powers that be at Fox must be greedy, humorless dicks. They don't seem to understand what makes good television anymore. With the exception of shows like The Simpsons and That 70s show, Fox pretty much cans any good comedy that they broadcast. Between Undeclared, Futurama, Arrested Development, and pre-ressurection Family Guy, Fox has successfully managed to kill some of the best comedies to come out in the last decade.
Undeclared was really, really good. So good, in fact, that I found myself really caring about every character in the show. Even the minor characters, whose stories weren't as fleshed out, were well written and believable. The only complaint I would have is that the female characters never seemed as well-rounded as their male counterparts, usually seeming like cliches of typical college girls rather than entirely believable women.
I'd never previously seen Undeclared when I bought the DVD, so I was incredibly disappointed when I popped in Disc 4 to find out that I had already watched the last episode. You could see the last episode as a conclusion of sorts, albeit a very weak one, and it's obvious that it just got dumped by FOX before it even really had a chance to wrap up ideas set up in the 17 episodes. Still though, Undeclared was an awesome show that managed to have heart while still being thoroughly hilarious. Definately worth a look.
Rating: - Undeclared
First of all, Why this didnt get picked up for a second season is beyond me. What the hell do you have to do to create a good show?? This had everything. Great relatable characters, relationship changes, everything made sence and it didnt suck. In fact it is really well written as well. I like this better than Freaks and Geeks, because to tell you the truth. Freaks is way to depressing to watch and well it portrays realism very very well, Its just not that funny, and its too sad. However if there is something sad here, its quickly thrown away lightheartidly and changed. This is a great show and its sad because it could've lasted a very long time.
Rating: - Fox really used to suck.
As I watched Undeclared on television I was often confused thinking that I was watching a rerun that I had missed. Now knowing that stupid studio execs at Fox were airing several of their shows out of order. Seems like they didn't want the shows to succeed and then cancel them immediately.
Undeclared was a funny and familiar (as in true to life take) on college life in sitcom form.
