I've been watching Undeclared and I really like it, shame it only lasted one season just like Freaks and Geeks. Are there any other TV shows about life in college like that?
Preferably comedies.
 
Yeah I watch Community routinely, seen Old School too. Might watch that again this weekend.

Never heard of Blue Mountain State, I'll check it out. Thanks bro

That's really it. The audience for a college show isn't that great, which is likely why we haven't seen a lot. Most college kids aren't watching TV. Younger teens would be interested in a high school show... adults in their 20s/30s want to see people who reflect their own lives (starting careers, families, single life, etc.)

Loved this show. One of the most underrated shows in tv history. Favorite episode was the one with Will Farrell. "Just doubt me!"

I don't think it's that college kids aren't watching TV, I think it's because they're more interested in shows with more mature characters and storylines. If you look at television programming in younger age brackets, most shows generally involve characters older than the target audience.

For example, all those Disney shows featuring high schoolers are generally aimed at middle schoolers (How many HSers actually watch Disney Channel? Not many). People are usually bored by depictions of their own lives, and want to see the lives more mature or 'cooler' characters instead.

I'm in college, but I can't imagine finding a college show interesting unless it has more depth than usual, and doesn't just fall back on the standard tropes. Maybe I should check out Community.
 
Oh no you didn't post saved by the bell the college years :lol:

The show had it's moments but ehh it wasn't good imo, lol
