Undergrads

- Season 1

(2001)

Four high-school friends try to maintain their friendship as they go to separate colleges. Nitz runs into his long-time high-school crush Kimmy Burton, discovers that she's a member of the Drama department, and wants to meet her at a dorm mixer, but she might have a thing for Mark, the Drama Guy whom she doesn't know is gay. Rocko wants to get into a Fratenity, and insists on passing an initiation they don't have. Gimpy vows to spend all year in his dorm and gets his fellow nerds to spy on Rocko, while Cal is too swamped with girls hitting on him.

Nitz snubs college traditions like the Exposed Expo, where students run around naked on campus during the first snowfall, then changes his mind when he discovers that Kimmy Burton is joining--until he puts on some extra weight. Gimpy slams traditions week at Techerson Tech, until Rita the R.A. makes fun of him, then vows to prove himself to be the new "traditions master" with help from his minions.

As a virgin, Nitz could only be grateful for the opportunity to make love to Kimmy Burton. But when he finds out she does part-time volunteer work at the local free clinic, he mistakenly assumes she's a slut and vows to be extra virginal. Cal tries to abstain from sex himself, after fearing the possibility that he might have caught an STD. Rocko pretends to be a virgin to gain Charity's trust so he can make his former high-school girlfriend jealous during her upcoming visit.

When Rocko, Gimpy, and Cal are too wrapped up in their own interests to celebrate Nitz's birthday, Jessie invites him to to meet her friends: would-be film student Rob Brody, profanity-spewing Crougar, and laughing fool Dan. Gimpy loses his minions to a rival named Spud, a hardcore Trekkie who vows to destroy everything associated with his Star Wars fandom. When Gimpy challenges Spud to a duel so he can regain them, the weapon of choice is the video game "Quake." However, it must be a team competition, and with only Rocko and Cal as his teammates, he might not stand a...

After a day of binge-drinking, Rocko begins to see Bobby Whiskey (Josh A. Cagan), an imaginary 6-foot-tall talking whiskey bottle, and vows to stop drinking after a huge hangover. This does not help Nitz, who needs to get into a bar to meet Kimmy Burton, something he can only do if he can get a fake I.D. card. Gimpy comes to the rescue for him in that department, but when word gets out about his ability to make fake I.D.s, it completely consumes his life.

Annoyed by Cal's antics, Nitz decides to stay with Jessie after he suddenly finds that she is very much a woman when her towel falls off in front of him. Speaking of women, Gimpy encounters a female online hacker named "She-Prime"; at first he views her as a threat, but then he starts to form what passes for a relationship with her.

When Kimmy Burton might be transferred to England, Nitz tries to get her an elaborate travel clock. Two things stand in the way, though: Rocko get thrown out of his frat house for the weekend and diverts Nitz's ability to order the clock by taking him out to as many bars as possible; and Gimpy and the rest of his minions get their Internet access cut off by Rita the R.A., and Gimpy leads a student rebellion against her, using a secret weapon to distract her: Cal.

Nitz and Gimpy, normally drawn together by a love of trivia, suddenly find that they must compete against each other in an online trivia contest for State U and Techerson Tech. Cal volunteers his services as State U's mascot, and Rocko keeps beating him up in order to stir up pride for his school: Central State Junior Community College.

A bureaucratic mix-up causes Nitz to miss his most recent financial-aid check, which turns him into the symbol for the plight of apparently-oppressed college students. Meanwhile, Rocko joins the local R.O.T.C. and discovers that they are a bunch of nerdy wimps.

Just when Nitz thinks he has college life in the bag, he finds out that nobody recognizes him from first semester. When he tries and fails--miserably--to reinvent himself, he shuts himself up in his room and is dubbed by his fellow students as "Room Guy." Meanwhile, Cal discovers that there's an "I Hate Cal" website directed at him and seeks self-improvement advice from Rocko, which backfires on both of them.

Nitz receives a credit card from his parents but the clique takes advantage of him and makes him go over his limit. To repay his debt, he gets a menial job at the school library, while Rocko, Cal, and Gimpy manage to get large amounts of money to pay Nitz back, in hopes that they can start doing it all over again.

Gimpy, Cal, and Rocko all devise an elaborate scheme to get Nitz to stay and play a game of Risk with them...with hilarious results.

The end of freshman year is Nitz's last chance to hook up with Kimmy Burton, which annoys the hell out of Jessie. Kimmy is an emotional wreck about her last days in college for numerous reasons, among them her unrequited love for her ever-flamboyant classmate Mark. Rocko seeks off-campus housing for the clique, much to the chagrin of Gimpy, who futilely resists leaving his dorm room. Cal gets R.A. training from The Duggler, while Brody and Crougar finally try to do something nobody on this show has ever done before: STUDY.
