    Quite funny, but also quite dumb

    The show has it's moments, but overall it ain't that great. I watch the show every once in the while, but not much. It's just another one of those trashy shows on USA Network (If you know what I mean). That's all i got to say.

    Epic in television

    This show is raw, funny and oh so original. The plot was superb and the acting was some of the best I have seen in a long time. I must say the high light of the show was William James Jones who played Dwane "excess" Wilson he was the real reason I began watching the show (great actor) but I was pulled in by the talents of Josh Holland, Elena Lyons and Marquita Terry. Now if they would bring this show to DVD I could feel complete. This show definitely gets an A+ from this satisfied fan.

    Great show, unless you hate "TEEN" sitcoms.

    Yes, I like this show. Though it is just "Saved By The Bell: The Collage Years" - "California Dreams" + "Saved By The Bell"...good copy-off huh? Now if you've seen ALL of Peter Engel's shows you know one thing, all just rip-offs "Saved By The Bell". This time it is different. Instead of just using regular humor they use offbeat humor. Stuff you won't find on the "Saved By The Bell"-ish shows. A great show...backfired when William James Jones came.

    Average Grade: B+

    By far the best of the Peter Engel teen comedies

    "USA High" is by far the best of the Peter Engel teen comedies. Instead of relying on just tired old one liners, the show emphasizes humor based from good character development. The cast is one of the best on any show currently running. The show borrows from other shows, not just other Peter Engel programs. It is part "Save By the Bell (but much better), part "Friends," and part "Three's Company." One down side is that the show has been thrown off balance with the exit of Lazzarini and the entrance of Excess.

    This is the worst show ever!!

    This show is really bad. And I mean really, really bad. Marquita Terry is the worst actress I've ever seen. Her character is so stupid. She's too overpowering. She's so jealous that she forbids her boyfriend, Christian, from having any fun. Christian is so dumb, I don't see how he ever made it through kindergarden. Ashley's accent is so fake!! Her character is dumb, too. I mean, come on, no one's that stupid!! Jackson is so girl-crazy. He just focuses on girls and music. And if he hasn't had his big break yet, cut out the music pro talk already!!!!!!! Lazerini is dumb, too. He acts like a caveman!! No respectable human being acts like that!!! Lauren's character is fake. Eleana Lyons needs to go to a better acting school. Mr. Elliot is a total idiot! No headmaster acts like that, especially if he wants to keep his job. He just flirts with Miss Dupree' and he's got to be about twice her age!! This is a really poor show, the acting is bad, and the plot outlines are stupid and unrealistic. Don't waste any of your time on this show.
