Camp

I wish this series had a chance to live more. It takes a while sometimes for certain series to take off, and this is one of them. We need a good camp TV series out there, there would be a lot of camp people that would enjoy it. This was a good effort.

Camp takes classic motifs and life lessons and gives it a modern twist and a hint of sarcasm and comedy. I was especially surprised at myself that I became such a fan of a show like this and yet I can't get enough. Creating the setting based around a family summer camp was ingenious, kind of an escape from the overused hospital or police station backgrounds. The unknowns that make up the teen actors, like Thom Green, Tim Pocock, Dena Kaplan, Lily Sullivan, Charlotte Nicdao, and Charles Grounds, each give their all by showing intense acting talent, both funny and dramatic. I always look forward to the next episode and I desperately hope that this well-written and inspiring show gets renewed by NBCUniversal next season.

My wife and I appened upon this little gem by accident way back when it was new.. decided to give it a shot and enjoyed its entire season. Sadly some dolt killed this series.. a big mistake as is easily seen by its IMDB rating alone. It could have been better sure but nothings perfect and in our opinion it easily was worth the time spent

Suffice to say the series is worth the time to watch for a light hearted laugh and while it is not currentlyly avail on bluray etc etc there are some sources still where the entire 1st season can be ound with a little digging. :)

I also advise everyone ignore the retentive rantings of reviewers like "reapersgames" whom obviously needs to get out more and spend less time worrying about what others do and more introspection oh his/her own obvious failings.

It's about a little summer camp run by Mack Granger (Rachel Griffiths). It's a quaint place where people return year after year, and no cell phone is allowed.

If there is one problem, it's the lack of diversity. It's understandable since this is filmed in Australia, but they really need to try harder. The show is a full of hormonal kids and hormonal Rachel Griffiths. It's a sudsy soap and it works great on that level. The acting is first rate from Griffiths as usual, and also the lead Tom Green.

This was an NBC summer replacement show, and got canceled after only 1 season of 10 episodes. It had passable ratings for a summer show 0.8 in 18-49 for the final episode. By comparison 'Crossing Lines' got a 0.4 in their final episode on the same network. Chances are the different production structure saved 'Crossing Lines' and got 'Camp' canceled. It's a shame. This show deserves another chance more than 'Crossing Lines'.

I hadn't seen any previews for this show and just happened to stumble upon it. I actually really enjoyed show, and was pleasantly surprised. While the situations in the show may be somewhat unrealistic, it reminds me of some older movies depicting shenanigans at camp. If you don't sit and criticize a fake TV show for being "unrealistic," it's quite enjoyable to just sit back and enjoy the character development. It's obvious they tried to make the characters cover a wide range in an attempt to appeal to multiple ages, from high school, to college, to middle aged. Character development seemed to get off to a promising start. I find myself looking forward to next episode and hoping they continue to reveal more about characters' pasts and different sides to them. Most of the situations set up for future episodes didn't seem to promise emotional drama (except possibly one), but instead seemed to imply chances for the characters to grow and form relationships in future episodes. This show may appeal to more of a slightly younger crowd, such as myself. As always, though, it is difficult to predict if a show will continue its promising start. I thought the first episode left the door open for a show that I will enjoy watching in the future. I hope they take it in the right direction.
