"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, Carnivale), 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

 Loved the show, love the DVD set. December 12, 2008
Dawn McCain (Pasadena, TX United States)
My family enjoyed this show when it was on TV. My son came home with the "Freaks and Geeks" box set, at which time I looked to see if Undeclared was available on DVD. Had to have it for our collection. Great series showcasing a lot of young talent that viewers will recognize as the stars of some of today's most popular movies and TV shows. The series is based on a group of freshman college students and what life can be like that first year living on your own in a dorm and trying to decide what to do with the rest of your life. Great writing, talented acting - I can't understand why it was cancelled in the first place but am glad to have the DVD set.
 Fantastic!!! November 18, 2008

Absolutely hilarious, great for fans of Judd Apatow, unfortunately this was not available on Region 2 dvd so I am only able to watch it on a computer.
 Good show, canceled before it could be great October 24, 2008

So after rediscovering the tragically canceled Freaks & Geeks on disc, I decided to give Undeclared a spin. I knew I was in for a different kind of show, but I still figured this would be a good follow up series in the Apatow canon.
Having said that, no point in continuing to compare these radically different series. Undeclared is a good show and stands on its own. It is shot as a half hour show with more emphasis on comedy but flecks of drama mixed in occasionally. There were some really funny eps in this set, my favorites usually involving Lizzie's long distance boyfriend Eric, played by Jason Segal. It's a shame he couldn't have been involved more often, but I suppose he made a bigger impact in small doses.
The rest of the cast were pretty likable, cast before their characters were written, however there were a few that I could have done without. I never missed Steven's dad when he was left out of an episode. And Lizzie and Marshall were particularly uninteresting to me. Lizzie being a necessary love interest to help Steven's character develop, but I just found her irritating most of the time, and Marshall just not doing much of anything of interest. Seth Rogen's Ron always had the best lines (and usually had a hand in writing the funniest episodes), and Monica Keena's Rachel was a more entertaining female character, albeit maybe not as fleshed out.
The guest stars were occasionally interesting. I honestly didn't care too much for the big name guests like Sandler, Ferrel and Stiller who were intended to help this fledgling series garner more ratings, and that's exactly what they felt like. I preferred the more low key guests or the occasional F&G alum that popped in.
The series ends a little abruptly, not because of any fault on the creator's part. I'm sure this show could have developed into an even better show than it started, if the steady incline of quality as the series went on was any indication. Worth checking out if you're an Apatow fan.
apat-ow thats hot September 25, 2008
K. Nakamura (los angeles, ca)
if you like judd apatow youll like this. its an "honest" portrayal of a first year away at college. not as good as freaks and geeks but still enjoyable.
Undeclared, underappreciated, underestimated September 14, 2008
Viva (So. Cal.)
It's a real shame that some TV networks won't give a new, interesting, funny, unpredictable show a chance. That's what happened with this show--an entertaining but never offensive look at the freshman experience away from home at college. From the powerhouse of Apatow, Rogen and associates, Undeclared dealt with relationships, RAs, parents, frats, and more, but without being goofy about it. There were also some great guest appearances by Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Ben Stiller, Kyle Gass, and Adam Sandler, among others.
If you missed it on TV, be sure to rent it!
