[edit] Individual epsiode pages

Would it be useful adding pages for each individual episode? It might encourage people to add more content, but it would also mean a lot of stub articles, at least to start. Any thoughts? --Gpollock 08:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Depends how you do it. I would be willing to (try) helping. I have done episode articles for the Roswell (TV series) (for my work, see Pilot (Roswell) and Leaving Normal (Roswell) as examples) and I would go by that basic structure. Infobox, brief synopsis, expanded synopsis, relevant personnel on the episode, trivia/pop culture section (how many times Cal says "guy" in the episode,ect.), a quotes section, and possibly a external links section. At least, thats how I would do it so that it didn't qualify as a stub article. I could draft one for the first episode of Undergrads this weekend as a starting off point. --MOE.RON talk | done | doing 13:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Personally I'm going to go with no. This article needs major work before you'd even begin to consider individual episode pages. Not to mention I'm not sure the series is really notable enough to warrant that. --Crossmr 22:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I have already started, so if you think the articles should be deleted, you can nominate them via WP:AFD. Cheers! -- MOE.RON talk | done | doing 22:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Not deleted, just majorly cleaned up. There is no point in expanding the scope of information on this subject when whats already here isn't in great shape. --Crossmr 23:11, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Once I get done making articles for each of the episodes and other stuff I have on tap, I will come by this main article and help you with your clean up, which may take awhile, but I am sure you will have fixed up the article well by then. Again, cheers! -- MOE.RON talk | done | doing 02:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I hope someone takes the initiative and cleans this page up. When I get some time to look up sources and quote things I'll do so, but in the meantime anyone so inclined is encouraged. A lot of this isn't well written and reads a bit like a blog post or some kind of summary off the back of a DVD on some things. --Crossmr 22:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Does this read like a fan page to anyone else? Highlandlord 17:05, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

It does indeed: "the series' cliffhanger ending which sadly has yet to be continued". I'll do my best to cut personal comments like that, but I ask someone more experienced to go over the article more thoroughly.

[edit]  ???

"The show is a microcosm of college life much the same way Gilligan's Island represents everyday life."

W.T.F.?!

Wikitionary anyone? [1] Would it be better to have a link to wiktionary instead of the article?

[edit] Inaccuracy about Nitz and Jessie's relationship

As stated in the episode "Room Mates", Nitz tries to woo Jessie but Jessie ultimately rejects him. Jessie's character description logically then would require a correction about Nitz being ignorant about her interest in him. This is somewhat inaccurate. It can be stated that Nitz gave up on Jessie after this rejection, and focussed on Kimmy for the rest of the season, much to Jessie's annoyance and frustration in the later episodes.

But doesnt she claim to have liked him at the end of the series?

By the Risk episode it's heavily implied that she's interested in Nitz, her unrequited attraction to him compared to his for Kimmy. And on the last episode, when they all leave the campus, she pulls over to berate Nitz for hooking up with Kimmy and never noticing that she had feelings for him.

[edit] Had enough!

I'm turning the Episodes section into an article. Ace Fighter



[edit] Taylor or Taylan?

In the 4th episode, "New Friends", Spud refers to Gimpy's last name as Taylor, which I always thought it was. Which is it? Chewbacca1010 00:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


"Taylan" seems to be a mishearing of Taylor that ended up being posted to places like the IMDB and not corrected. Tim gueguen 20:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


I've been changing it to "Taylan" ever since I found this: [2] This is a wallpaper from the official website. If you look at the bottom of it, it says 'Justin "Gimpy" Taylan'. Just to let you know, Spud does says "Taylor" in that episode (it even shows up on the closed captioning). So, I don't know.
ConsoleZ 16:15, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I saw that wallpaper too. Of course it could be that whoever created that wallpaper just went with what sources like Wikipedia and the IMDB have listed. Tim gueguen 23:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


Yeah but is that wallpaper an official creation of the shows producers? Personally, I think it should be left at Taylor, simply because that is what is said in the show, and that is what counts. If the wallpaper is merely a fan creation that the shows producers decided to keep, then what is said in the show ought to be what is said here I think. Chewbacca1010 04:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

"Many of the show's fans believe the show did not get the chance it deserved[citation needed]. A majority of people, however, felt the show wasn't all that good and had earned it's speedy cancleation."- This seems to be an obviously biased 'he said/she said' account of things, since it's kind of pointless and is pretty blatantly just fans & detractors arguing on the main page, but the mainframe is blocked from alterations for the time being.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:UndergradsTitle.jpg

Image:UndergradsTitle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] They're called "The Click"

Not "The Clique". Yes, they are a clique, but their clique's name is "The Click" because Americans pronounce it "click" instead of "cleek".

Why else would the theme song and the pilot be called "The Click"?

Whoever's changing it to "The Clique", don't.

[edit] Techerson Based on Ryerson?

What is the basis for the statement: "Gimpy's school Teckerson Tech is likely based on Toronto Canada's Ryerson Tech." ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.211.160.1 (talk) 19:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


I think it's just the similarity between the names ("-erson Tech"). Ryerson Tech/Teckerson Tech... And I suppose that MAY be true, that it's based on Ryerson, because really, if that's where Pete what's his face got the idea for the name of the university from, then it's "based" on it, but you can't really verify something like that.
