Text - 1. "Lloyd's Rampage" Script
Like his previous television outing FREAKS AND GEEKS, producer Judd Apatow's short-lived sitcom UNDECLARED suffered the undeserved fate of being cancelled after only one season. But just like its predecessor, the offbeat series continues to garner a posthumous cult following with its sweet, funny, smart, and almost painfully accurate evocation of another American adolescent rite of passage: freshman year of college. The pitch-perfect Jay Baruchel anchors the series as Steven Karp, a nerdy everyman navigating both the exhilarating freedoms and poignant confusions of college life with the help of his new dormmates Lloyd (Charlie Hunnam), Ron (FREAKS AND GEEKS alum Seth Rogen), and Marshall (Timm Sharp), as well as girl-next-door coeds Lizzie (Carla Gallo) and Rachel (Monica Keena). Musician Loudon Wainwright costars as Steven's divorcé father Hal, who embarrassingly attempts to muscle in on his son's new lifestyle, while Amy Poehler is absolutely hilarious as a RA-from-hell. The series also featured a slew of inspired guest appearances from Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, and, most fittingly, former FREAKS AND GEEKS stars Samm Levine, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, and Busy Philipps. Doing for college what FREAKS AND GEEKS did for high school, UNDECLARED lives on with this collection of 17 episodes from its one and only season.
