Re: Greek -- Series Finale -- "Legacy" -- 3/07/11

I am going to seriously miss this show. I can't think about a single other series on TV that I would be this upset about loosing. But I'm thankful that ABC Family gave us this final season (and the writers the time to wrap up the show properly) because it really could have gone either way.

I hope tonights episode is as fun as emotion (which you know it will be).

For those of you you interested TVline has posted a really good article with the creator talking about the end of the series. There are some MINOR spoilers to watch out for though.

Re: Greek -- Series Finale -- "Legacy" -- 3/07/11

I thought Greek was one of the best 'hidden gems' on TV in the last few years. It has a great balance of goofy humour and heart. The characters are great and I've grown to love them - I would have followed this show for many more year to come - but of course, the show never really caught on like it should have. I'm eager to see how it'll wrap up and I'm glad I have the dvd's to watch again and again. With the demise of FNL and now Greek, 2011 is really killing off some of my favourite shows!

I thought it was a great finale and for some reason this line had me:

"You can't blame Luke Skywalker for being Darth Vader's son".
"Spoiler Alert!!!"

I am actually inappropriately sad over this show being over. It really captured college life so well, i feel like i am parting ways with people i graduated with.

I feel kinda like a moron thinking over and over, "why why why must this be over already."

Great show that will be missed just like FNL. I like how they brought back some faces from the past, but I was expecting some sort of flashforward to give us an idea of how their college experience affected their future.

Hmmm. I didn't really care for the resolution for Casey. I used to really like the character, but she copped out AGAIN?! I mean she just drops law school after all of the rigmarole she went through to attend Cyprus-Rhodes Law? What a flake. Good luck in the workforce in this economy, babe!

Finding out Cappie's name was pretty fun. I'm glad it ended before it got worn out.

Great show that I discovered way too late. I'll miss it.

EXCELLENT finale. 10x better than The OC finale (I only compare it to that, since that is the only other "chick" show I watched haha)

Great music. Great scenes. That cast was PERFECT. I will forever miss you Greek.

re: Greek (ABC Family) - Series Discussion Thread

I saw the beginning of the 'Series Finale' thread and you all seemed to give this show high praise. I noticed it's on Instant Watching for Netflix so I decided to watch the pilot last night. Jadzia sums up my thoughts and then some!

Her boyfriend Evan reminds me of Logan from Veronica Mars and Casey reminds me of Cassie from Hex. Good cast and the writing was surprisingly good.
The entire series doesn't seem too long in episode numbers so I'll likely watch more.

I myself played "catch up" before the last two seasons - really easy to get into and run with. The entire run was enjoyable and bows out gracefully before wearing out its welcome. ENJOY!

(BTW I caught up on Hulu in case Netflix doesn't get those final two episodes online before you get there!)

It's impossible not to be sucked into this series. And just wait the show just keeps getting better and better (although season 3 gets a little outrageous at a point - but still very enjoyable and funny).

Yeah, I don't like it either, but I also didn't like how one professor's opinion held their law school hostage. Not very realistic, as I went to a University and most of the Professors I had didn't know each other.

i enjoyed it

This show was never too hardcore (no one got drug habits or raped) so having a fuzzy happy ending was appropriate

Re: Greek---"A New Normal"---Season Premiere---ABC Family

Damn, critterdvd was right in the Pilot thread - this show has sucked me in!! I'm such a sucker for shows that develop their characters and move plots along. Plus it helps this is sort of an O.C. lite vibe going on.

Very interesting to see all of the deck chairs get shuffled around. Perhaps the most interesting is much like the OC with Luke who you loath at first this show has managed to make Evan likeable despite how the show started off.

Didn't think it was possible to dislike the Logan character any more, but then Cappi goes and does something stupid.

Jen K. Poor Rusty.

BUMP!!

The series is not coming back. There... just wanted to get that out of the way so everyone who reads this thread bump hoping there's news of a new 10 episode season to be filmed concurrently with feature length film, well, there isn't.

Just wanted to say that I just finished this series on Netflix and although it took a few episodes to sink in, I thought this show was awesome. Terrific characters (fuck, even the secondary characters were awesome..), hot chicks acting all hotty, really funny dialogue and all that other bunk.

Yeah, totally gonna miss this show and I'm pissed I didn't get to watch it when it was on.

Sorry to bump a really old thread, but I figured some old fans would like to check this out:
