"Graduates" Trailer

What the deal with this bit of funniness, you may ask? Answer: “Graduates is an independently produced comedy television pilot. The story centers around 3 graduate students, John, Gus, and Cameron, trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives.” Looks good! Let’s get it on the Fall ’09 schedule.
With any new sitcom, I have to dig the premise and embrace the main characters from the get-go. I’m talking right away, chop chop, none of this “it will grow on you” crap. That’s why I’m already a fan of “Graduates.” The lead guys are funny in a casual unforced manner and look like actual grad students, not “One Tree Hill” type automatons. The studly “party” professor is also a nice touch, a good foil to build a show around. And the girl, wow! Kudos to the casting director, she’s a lovely mix of approachable and insanely cute.
There hasn’t been a smartly done college show in some time (“Undeclared”… “Saved By The Bell: The College Years”… Oh that Zach!), so hopefully this will get picked up and we can all enjoy some higher education hi-jinx with lots of crazy drinking, lots of awkward sex and most of all, tons and tons of humiliating and soul-scarring social encounters and confrontations… oh, and maybe a pesky life lesson tossed in for good measure.
