Blue Mountain State

The deeds and misdeeds of the Blue Mountain State college football team. Between numerous parties and general mayhem they manage to play some football, and play it well. Lead by coach Marty Daniels and captain Thad Castle they're a formidable team. Joining this team is second string quarterback Alex Moran and team mascot Sammy Cacciatore.

I initially wasn't that impressed with this series. The humour was quite juvenile and low-brow though there was a great momentum to proceedings that made the vibe quite fun.

Luckily I stuck with the series as things improved. The humour was often still quite juvenile but it also got more intelligent with some clever plots, scenes and one-liners.

The characters also become more engaging and fully formed. Alex Moran is the central character and is solidly played by Darin Brooks. However, the pick of the characters is Thad Castle, played by now-action-star Alan Richson with a great self-deprecating, jock-satirising humour. On the negative side I found Sammy Cacciatore (played by Chris Romano, co-creator of the show) largely irritating.

On the whole it's funny and good fun.

I did not expect much from this show at all. Some friends were watching it and I just caught a few minutes. One night I got bored and noticed that it was available on Netflix. I was hooked from the first five minutes, and I finished watching every single episode within three days. People say that the humor is similar to American Pie, but I disagree; it is more fun by far! The characters are perfect, and the actors have done a magnificent job. The jokes, the scenes and the actors together make this show the funniest I have watched in ages. I could not stop laughing. All I can say is that if you have a sense of humor and a love for stupidity in all shapes, you will love this show. I was really surprised, in the best way possible! Enjoy!

This show is the epitome of a college party show. From Thad to Alex Morgan to Coach Marty Daniels the characters alone make this show incredible. I feel like this show is one of those that they had no idea what a masterpiece they were creating.

Slap stick simple comedy that brings about all the joys of college. Its really a shame this show got canceled while "reality" TV continues. Probably one of the best sport shows ever for comedy. The supporting characters changed a lot, but that was great because it provided a dynamic environment for the comedy. Guest stars were great, seeing Chad Ochocinco and the Captains ceremony made me laugh out loud. I do wish they had a few more actual football scenes, but maybe the actors weren't athletic enough. The show probably lack in the female audience as it was very much geared towards guys with all the themes, but a great guy show it was. All in all though a great show.

9/10

A series about a football team with loads of sex and drugs.. So, college. This is a great series for what it is, but not much more. It has a lot of good jokes and a lot of good characters. The 'bully' and captain of the team is hilariously insane, and the story is compelling to any teenager. If you've come for intelligent television, you're looking the wrong way, because this is pretty dumb television, but I enjoy watching it.

Watch it if you like movies like "American Pie", "Dude, where's my car?" and similar teenage movies.

Also, am I the only one who thinks the main character is sort of like a younger Johnny Depp?
