(also known as Greek – Chapter Four Review)
Review by JAM
“It’s the end of the world, Cappie. What are you gonna do?”
And thus end the saga of the relationship between Casey Cartwright (Spencer Grammer) and Max Tyler (Michael Rady), the pretty girl and the perfect boy, as Casey finally determines who she wants, at least for now. Cappie (Scott Michael Foster) is left to digest the fact that Casey wants him, warts and all. Rusty Cartwright (Jacob Zachar) decides that his girl is more important than the studies he seems to be failing, until he talks to Max who tells him that the girl is never worth it. Ashleigh Howard (Amber Stevens) comes to realize she does have a backbone, even without Casey beside her. After her confrontation with Ashleigh, Frannie Morgan (Tiffany DuPont) discovers that she didn’t need to leave the Zeta Beta Zeta house, instead she needed to leave the school to head out for greener pastures. Dale Kettlewell (Clark Duke) is a confusing mess, finding physical romance with his landlady while remaining pure. And Jesse McCartney stops by as football star Andy, the mega-Greek recruit this season. It is a jam packed Chapter Four, also known as the second half of Season Two of Greek!
Greek is the college experience all over again, for those who went through it before. Or it is a prelude of things to come for those that haven’t. Think of guys, girls, parties, classes, Greek life, and camaraderie rolled into the ABC Family comical original series Greek. Cyprus Rhodes University (CRU) is waiting for you at this beginning of the new year for our favorites, and to prepare you for the pop quiz that may be awaiting you at the end, here are the Top 5 Reasons it’s Greek to me!
Number 5
The Greeks – Sorority and Fraternity friends unite! Camaraderie, back stabbing, and partying pretty much sum up the relationships between the Greeks, and the Greek organizations on a real college campus. Working together happens just as often as attempts to sabatoge, and Greek really keeps the focus on this. From a beer squirting float to the introduction of a competing sorority, the focus is on competition and dirty tricks as much as it is on the party atmosphere.
Number 4
At World’s End – Eight minutes of retrospective on what is going to happen in this season. Writers and producers share that this chapter and especially the finale launch the cast into the next season. Manhole! Okay, it’s not so funny here in print, but you’ll see why it is so important with the “end of the world” so in focus. End of the world and someone is going to make a beer can pyramid by himself. And someone is going to eat butter. What more can you ask for?
Number 3
Casey Cartwright – the “will she, won’t she” bit is normally annoying in most television series, but Casey is an interesting dichotomy of a character. She seems to have so much of her intellectual side together, but her emotional side seems to be in such flux. But she is so likeable and you want to know what is going to happen. She seems to realize now that
Number 2
Dodgeball – In the episode “Evasive Actions” Greek combines cute college girls and the awesome sport of Dodgeball! Nothing greater than a sport in which noses could be broken, eyes bruised, and lips fattened played by sorority girls who would complain about breaking a nail. Four minutes of Zeta Beta Zeta versus the dreaded offshoot Iota Kappa Iota in a furious female frenzy. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that crazy, but dodgeball and girls makes for a fun portion of this episode.
Number 1
Blooper Reel – the greatest invention on DVD has got to be the Blooper Reel. Any movie and series set of DVDs is just enhanced thanks to the Blooper Reel, and Greek is no different. Five minutes of hilarity and mess-ups just makes me feel so much better. The end is filled with bleeped out words of “wisdom” and people losing it with laughter and definitely worth the time to check it out.
Take a chance on Greek with the release of Greek: Chapter 4 on March 9, 2010, you won’t be sorry you did. Greek is from Buena Vista Home Entertainment with a rating of TV-14 (Parents strongly cautioned).
