Undeclared is a U.S. television series that aired on FOX during the 2001–2002 TV season. The half-hour dramedy/sitcom was Judd Apatow's follow-up to the TV cult classic Freaks and Geeks. Undeclared centered on a group of college freshmen at the fictitious University of North Eastern California. Unlike Freaks, it was set in the current time rather than the 1980s. It gave a humorous and usually accurate look at the highs and lows of college life, from young adult relationships to the dreaded freshman fifteen. It takes its name from the status of an undergraduate who has not yet decided, or "declared", a specific major of study.

Media outlets such as Entertainment Weekly gave the show generally glowing reviews. Despite a cult following, FOX cancelled the show in March 2002 after poor ratings. Viewership waned after a promising premiere, perhaps due to FOX airing the remaining episodes out of order and constantly moving the show across its scheduling grid.

Trivia

Title card.

• The show was given the production name "Slammin' 40s"

• The DVD box set contains one episode, "God Visits", that was produced but never aired on American television.

• The DVD also contains the script to an unproduced episode that was written for the show's second season. It was written by Lewis Morton, and it was titled "Lloyd's Rampage." It revolves around Lloyd getting into a fight with Kieran, the star student of his acting class, and deciding that he wants to experience real life. So, Steven and Lloyd go to a bar and end up in a fight with some working class men, which impresses Kieran when Lloyd tells him about it. A subplot in the episode revolves around Marshall getting extremely drunk and throwing up in a bar. When he is throwing up, Perry takes a picture and video, and makes T-shirts and posters and puts them around campus. Marshall is embarrassed at first, but he is glad when he finds out about all of the attention that he gets as "Puke Dude." Unfortunately for him, this doesn't last long when everyone forgets about him after another student poops his pants in the library. Perry's last name is revealed to be Madison in this episode. The role of Kieran was written for That '70s Show star Topher Grace, but he never appeared in the episode because of a dispute between Judd Apatow and That 70's Show co-creator Mark Brazill. ^[2]

• Creator Apatow also served as an executive producer, director, and writer for the series Freaks and Geeks. Many Freaks and Geeks alumni have appeared on Undeclared. They include regular Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Busy Phillips, Samm Levine, Sarah Hagan, Martin Starr and Natasha Melnick. Freaks and Geeks creator Paul Feig directed several episodes of Undeclared.

• Charlie Hunnam's then-wife Katharine Towne appeared in the episode "Sick in the Head" as Lloyd's girlfriend, Rebecca.

• Seth Rogen wrote one episode of Undeclared ("Sick in the Head") and co-wrote four others. ^[3]

• Famous directors that have directed Undeclared episodes include Jon Favreau (Swingers, Made), Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks), Jake Kasdan (Orange County) and Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar.

• Included on the DVD, episode 2B ("Full Bluntal Nugety") is a director's cut of episode 2 ("Oh, So You Have a Boyfriend") as it aired. Some scenes were deleted and others were re-filmed in order to trim time off the length of the episode. This was explained in the literature that came with the DVD.^[4] Ted Nugent guest-starred, but his scenes were cut.

• Had the show continued, there were plans to introduce Jason Segel's real life girlfriend and Freaks and Geeks alum Linda Cardellini as Eric's new girlfriend.

• The bar that the girls go into in the episode The Day After is Jacks in Pittsburgh on the South Side

• Lloyd and Stephen's room has a Tenacious D poster on the door. Kyle Gass, one half of the parody rock duo, guests on the show as Eugene.
