rewatching Greek

I know this is going to sound corny, especially coming from a grown man, but I re-watch all the seasons of Greek about once every year to year and a half (generally starting in the early to middle of the summer when there are virtually no shows that I like are airing). I own all the seasons on DVD :P there is something about this show that brings me back to my college days. Greek aired the summer before my Sophmore year, so my college experience was happening pretty much at the same speed as the show. I was also in a frat (average joe type) and did end up in a love triangle... thankfully got out of that mess. there is something about Greek that keeps drawing me back, even though the show is the Hollywood-ized and whimiscal verzion of college... I still keep getting drawn back.

Maybe in a few years they will do a 10 year reunion or something?

The first go around I hate Evan, the second go around I started liking him. However, I am in Cappie's camp.

I just rewatched the pilot last night, and one thing that stood out to me was it appeared Ashleigh had an eating disorder. Ashleigh and Casey were at Dobblers and Ashleigh was munching on some chips, and Casey made a comment about rush starting the next day, and Ashleigh dropped the chip she was holding and said she had to go to the bathroom. The next day she was talking to someone else in ZBZ about removing a stain and the girl asked what the stain was, and Ashleigh embarrassingly said yogurt and the girl said "ew" (which I think means we are supposed to assume it isn't yogurt) and threw it and it landed on Rusty who said he would not want that on his head, which makes me think it was throwup. I don't think they ever explored this (maybe they meant to be scraped it) but maybe they did and I don't remember.

I didn't mind Casey but I never loved her character, she had her moments where I did quite like her but I always just found her a bit too selfish and quite self-righteous about everything which really annoyed me!

Evan has always been one of my favourite characters, I just think there's a lot more depth to his character and a lot more layers! He has his moments where can be a d*** but then so does everyone else and sometimes Cappie is just as bad! I also like the fact that although he acts quite serious and sophisticated a lot of the time, he seems to have quite a dorky sense of humour and is actually a bit awkward!

Anyway, I've always felt like I'm kind of in the minority of that opinion!

'You people. If there isn't a movie about it, it's not worth knowing, is it?'

The show premiered at the beginning of my freshmen year of high school, and being the ABC Family-oriented teenager that I was, I immediately became an avid fan and followed it until the bitter finale end, funny enough, airing during my first semester of freshmen year of college. I haven't returned to the series since it ended, but over the weekend I started rewatching it on Netflix and it's almost as if I'm watching it for the first time. It's strange how your perspective shifts so dramatically based on your age; the first time around I was probably a little out of the demo, where now I'm in the twilight of my college years and appropriating Greek into my nostalgia of my last 4 years away at school. So many references flew over my head the first time around, and now I'm looking back and loving how well written the show is and how thorough the writers were with incorporating all the elements of being at a University. It was an anomally of a show for a network like ABC Family, wish they'd revert back to this and forgo the BS teen dramas.
