    This show blows. It wasn't funny, the characters are all paper thin, and frankly, it just sucks out loud. Also why is this on ABC Family. They celebrate sex, underage drinking and just harassment in general. Peice O' crap.

    Quite possibly one of the worst shows on television today; period. Greek offers nothing new in the category of teen drama, and simply attempts to mask long-posed soap opera drama with alpha through omega (while failing to do so). The plot turns and predictable outcomes are the only drive towards progressing the storyline, which seems to be already circular and repetitive, even in the Quite possibly one of the worst shows on television today; period.

The plot turns and predictable outcomes are the only drive towards progressing the storyline, which seems to be already circular and repetitive, even in the show's second season. Let us also realize the that the content of this show is not entirely appropriate for a family channel appearance. Sex, mainly, is the only theme that drives this forsaken work forward. Thus, considering that everyone on the show has almost already had a conflict in bed with everyone else, maybe we will be fortunate to experience Greek being Black-balled. -Gordan.… Expand

    I agree with Brendan. I have no children, I'm a university instructor, and certainly no prude. But I really am puzzled at how this show ended up on ABC Family. What's the point in having a separate station with "Family" in the title if the programming offers no alternative to the general licentiousness of popular culture? It almost does seem that ABC is deliberately provoking I agree with Brendan. I have no children, I'm a university instructor, and certainly no prude.

It almost does seem that ABC is deliberately provoking its viewers; daring it's more conservative ones to say "That's not MY family." But such flaccid provocations only make the channel look like they're running out of ideas. All trashiness aside, the show is just plain dumb, and does offer some explanation (even if it's based in fantasy) as to why my Greek students are regularly the least enlightened and intellectually curious ones I have in my classes.… Expand

    Why are the same tired formulas keep getting used over and over again? Did we have enough with The O.C., One Tree Hill, Angel, Beverly Hills 90210,....? If you do not get it, it boils down to uncharacteristically beautiful people living the glamorous life solving unrealistic problems.

    All this show is doing is playing on the stereotype that society has formed about Greek organizations. This stereotype is utterly distorted and this shows is only doing harm when greek organizations are trying to fix this image that America has of them. There are plenty of other ways the "Family" channel can portray college students having "fun and partying" in a non-greek atmosphere.

    Sigh...again, popular and commercial television has decided to stick with stereotypes when dealing with the notion of Greek life during college. I was in a fraternity and was one of two students in charge of the Greek system at my college, and let's be honest--this is a wholly innaccurate depicition (as most shows about Greek life are) of what happens when someone joins a fraternity Sigh...again, popular and commercial television has decided to stick with stereotypes when dealing with the notion of Greek life during college.

    I agree with many of the others on these reviews that this show has a horrible subject matter.

    This barely shows any semblance of what Greek life is all about (not that its meant to be totally factual). That said, it only damages the Greek communities out there that are working hard to break stereotypes, to become true leaders, and to do good things for their communities. They also spelled Greek with two Sigmas, which just annoys the hell out of anyone wearing letters.

    ABC Family...your new home for all the stuff you want your children to aspire to. It may say "family" in the name of the channel, but you shouldn't let anyone under 14 watch this show, in my opinion. If you're even more strict than I, you shouldn't let anyone under the age of 17 watch it. I'm not a prude by any means, and on any other channel this show would have my ABC Family...your new home for all the stuff you want your children to aspire to.

    Superficial relationships, underrage drinking and sexual undertones.Does America's youth really need any more exposure to this crap? Thank God for the V-chip and my remote control. ABCdysfunctionalFAMILY is more like it!

    Greek is bound-and-determined to retain focus on its core cast, even if some of the machinations to make that possible come across as slightly contrived and belabored.

    Greek lacks the acidic one-liners that mark great satires like Heathers, but it strains against its conventional boundaries just enough to be enticing.

    Greek is much more than artful manipulation of marketing strategy. The premiere has several surprises even as it dares you to pigeonhole any of these characters. The talented young ensemble cast works hard to sell the stories and mostly succeeds.
