    Anyone else watched/watching this?

    Series from Seth Rogen, James Franco, Judd Apatow and co. Set in High School in 1980.

    Halfway through it and can't believe they cancelled it. Reading up on it, seems the tele company thought it was too 'edgy' and not enough high school romance and *. Still appears on some amount of GOAT shows lists even though there was only 18 episodes.

    Aye, I think it's class. Some of the acting/insults are a bit cheesy at times but I'm loving it so far.

    I watched it a few months ago. It's superb, way better than I thought it was going to be and it's a joke how it didn't get more seasons.

    Its excellent.

    It was on a list of cancelled shows that should never have been cancelled...they only ever did one series.

    Quality show on many levels. Have to admit i first watched it because of a major crush on Linda Cardellini but so glad i did, it's funny, sad, intelligent and has characters you genuinely care about. So many highlights but some of my favorites would be Bill and his big rocket, Ben Foster as Eli and Joe Flaherty as Sam and Lindsay's dad.

    He was in the pilot quite a lot. Really weird but I already love him.

    Such a great actor.

    I suppose I will get in on the act as well!

    I've been looking for a new show to watch.

    Finished this last night. * tragic that it was cancelled after one season.

    It's fantastic. The main characters and even some side characters are all very well developed and it's consistently funny.
