    Wonderful show.

    Radio Free Roscoe is great. As one of the few 16-year-old girls who is not amused by the media and society we live in, it's refreshing and encouraging to see a show that supports good morals & values. I'm hoping this show will go on for quite awhile.

    And for all of those who don't know: It was Robbie's idea to start their own radio station. He met Travis when they both auditioned for a spot on Cougar Radio, and didn't get it. After finding out that Travis was able to do all the intricate details it takes to get on the radio, Robbie suckered Ray & Lily into joining them since they hung out in that comfy basement-type-place already. They were awful at first but got increasingly better, etc. Hope that helps someone. Great show!

    A fantastic program

    I think Radio Free Roscoe is by far one of the most well-written and produced dramatic or otherwise Canadian television programs in years. You cannot help but fall in love with the show or its characters. Funny, charming, and rebellious, RFR is undoubtedly easy viewing.

    The show has everything, and although the second season may have focused a bit too much on romance and less on what made the show so unbelievably popular among a demographic of fans in its first season, I still have yet to view a 'bad' episode.

    RFR gives a universal message about individuality and following one's heart, despite adversity, and I would recommend it to people of all ages.

    Impressive show

    I agree with the other commenter. The show may air on a teen network but the writing and acting have some adult appeal. Given it has some influence from the people who brought us The Adventures of Pete and Pete this is not surprising and, while the two shows are quite different, the humor and quirkiness carries over well. Definite thumbs up for the show, the cast and the writing.

    I think it is an unusual and refreshing that is essentially teen oriented yet maintains a level of content that should not be alarming to most parents who watch the show with their kids. The themes aren't too heavy and stereotypes in the characters are not so blatant as to be annoying. Much like other Canadian shows, the character development offers insights into the personalities quirks of each character.

    Surprise

    I would like to start this off by saying I am probably not even close to being in Radio Free Roscoe's target market. I am in my 30's and male. I found this show by accident. I was flipping through the channels and caught a music video. I had never heard of "the n" before and thought maybe it was a new video station. I kept it on as I was making dinner and RFR came on next. I was busy in the kitchen so I didn't bother changing it. I eventually started watching in the kitchen and actually was laughing out loud at some of the scenes. I have since watched some of the other episodes and have enjoyed them also. They are very well-written, funny, and I think the acting is actually really good for a show full of teenagers. I realize that the idea is a little unbelievable, but I watch TV to escape reality so I don't think it's a big deal. I really hope that they continue to make new episodes of RFR since it is better than 99% of the other garbage on TV today.

    A great show

    This show has really gotten be hooked and is the only show I basically watch consistently. A lot of people say you have to suspend your disbelief the show, but you don't really have to. You can buy a FM Transmitter for under $200 and set it up and even though there are restrictions in Canada I am sure the rules state as long as you don't interfere with anyone licensed radio station then it is allowable. The only thing that wouldn't be allowed is playing those bands music but I believe this because people download illegally all the time so I can imagine kids playing songs illegally.The story is very consistent with teenage life and most of the actors are very believable(Especially Kate Todd). The show will is already signed on for 26 more episodes so it will be around a while which I am very happy about. Good luck to the show.

    • Trivia
      Although canceled on the N network in America, the show has become enough of a success in Canada for the Family network to continue production until they pulled out as well in early summer 2005.
    • Quotes

      Travis Strong: [On his kiss with Lily] Ray, it didn't mean anything.

      Raymond 'Ray' Brennan: Oh, don't say that. Don't say that it didn't mean anything. Listen to me. If you thought about her everyday or if you memorized her laugh or if you once calculated how many seconds she's been alive, maybe I could get how you could do this to me. But can you do it and say it meant nothing?
