It's actually referred to as Chapter One because Season 1 was split into 2 parts. This 1st part was 10 episodes and the 2nd half was 10 more episodes (airing sometime in 2008). However, production got shut down after 8 episodes.

I thought it was a very good summer series and is definitely a worthy rental if you didn't catch it.

It's all "Greek" to ABC Family, which has picked up 10 more episodes of the college-set drama.
ABC Family initially greenlit 10 segs of "Greek"; the additional order, confirmed Tuesday, brings the show's season-one tally up to 20 episodes.

The new episodes will run on the cabler in early 2008. Four episodes of "Greek" have run so far; the show continues to grow in ABC Family's core female 12-34 demo, averaging 476,000 viewers in the measurement last week.

"Greek" has received additional runs on the cabler's sister ABC broadcast web as well.

Show, from Piller/Segan, revolves around a group of students who struggle to adapt to college life while navigating the world of fraternities and sororities. Patrick Sean Smith created and co-exec produces "Greek," while Shawn Piller and Lloyd Segan exec produce. Gil Junger directed the series pilot.

"Greek" stars Jacob Zachar, Spencer Grammer, Scott Michael Foster, Jake McDorman, Clark Duke, Dilshad Vadsaria, Paul James and Amber Stevens.

You know what, for under $20, I'll probably take the plunge.

I loved the series and it was definitely awesome to catch a nice show in the summer. And I was very sad that there were so few episodes!

This show got better and better with each episode and by the third episode I was completely hooked. It just a very entertaining/funny summer series. ABC Family Struck gold with their one-two punch: Greek/Kyle XY

Not that it particularly matters I suppose, but I wish they had used the artwork from the print ads and posters that were out around the time of the series' debut, with the picture of the cast in/around the Solo keg cup.

Hopefully they are saving that for the volume 2 release... I really liked that poster.

I only caught the first episode of this, but really enjoyed it, and for the Amazon price I went ahead and preordered it. Can't wait until March so I can see the rest.

I know...Mar. 24th is almost here, FINALLY!!!

I just saw this new sneak peek, for Greek! I can’t wait to see what happens with Casey and Rebecca (...although, I’m praying that it involves Rebecca falling off of a cliff, somehow...).

And, this could be Evan’s chance to redeem himself and stick up for Calvin and his position in Omega Chi, now that he’s been outed...
