"Kudos for Underclassmen turning out to be a quirky, charming, and juvenile eye-catcher. Though not carrying the potential to be a TV show, it could quite possibly be a very excellent radio program - though it isn't a radio script - or a series of online webisodes that are becoming increasingly more popular. Underclassmen may host generic themes, but the whimsical nature of Eric, Co., and the frequent, refreshing running gags makes the group's stories wonderfully easy to dive into. Good Job, Joe hope to see more later on."

All in all, I liked this show. Eric kinda reminded me of JD from Scrubs. I dunno if that offends you, or that was your plan, or whatever. Keep up the good work.

Yeah...that doesn't offend me. Being a high schooler myself, along with my love for shows like Scrubs and Rescue Me basically inspired the series, and I felt that I could relate to JD from Scrubs fairly well so I wrote thinking in a similar style. Thanks for the feedback!

So, how many episodes have you got planned?
Posted by: fromanshevz, December 7th, 2006, 8:09pm; Reply: 6
I have finished Episode 5 & 6, and have almost finished #7. I have had a lot of fun writing this series, so I don't see an end in sight. I have planned for at least 22 episodes, but hopefully will go beyond that.

I may film this soon, I have a cast together, and am just working out details. I'll keep people posted.
