Did anyone here enjoy the cartoon Undergrads?

I loved it and wished that they had made more than one season. I remember MTV moving the show's time slot all around, kind of like what Fox did to Futurama and Family Guy. Supposedly the ratings dropped and weren't good enough for MTV, so they pulled funding that was initially set aside for a second season of the show. Teletoon tried to get funding from Comedy Central, who put the first season at a late-night time slot to average ratings, not good enough for a second season.

Did anyone else love that show? I thought it was pretty great, the way it satirically portrayed a somewhat accurate representation of modern college students.

Edit: I was bored late at night (right now) and was reading the wikipedia entry on Undergrads. Supposedly teletoon has put up half of the funds required for a second season, and as of July 18 the original creator is urging fans to bombard MTV and Comedy Central with letters. Also, according to the creator, MTV tried to run it against the Simpsons :confused:

You've gotta love a cartoon that features Quake deathmatch in one of its episodes and all-night risk games in another.

Yeah, I remember that show, pretty decent...felt out of place on MTV since it actually was funny and witty at times.

Daria-syndrome, for awhile MTV had decent television.

In the 80s they were awesome
In the 90s they had a few good shows
In the new millenium they have nothing left that is worth watching
