Radio Free Roscoe

A couple months ago, my friend casually said "You know that Radio Free Roscoe show? It's actually not bad, I kind of like it." The commercials for it hadn't really done much for me, but I generally agree with her taste in such things so I checked it out. Yeah...I'm kind of hooked now. I seriously love Ray. He's a really great character, and the chemistry between him and Lily is great. Many people have criticized the believability of this show. Alright, obviously four teenagers wouldn't be able to hold an illegal radio station for very long without getting caught, but who wants to watch actual reality on television?? Honestly? Go watch the news if it's such a problem. It's a fun idea for a show, and I think RFR offers great and original characters and I really hope it stays on the air for a long time.

I LOVE "radio free roscoe"...i have to admit that when I first saw commercials for it i thought it looked cheesy and unoriginal (think other teen show "degrassi") but then one day it was on so I decided to keep watching (since there was nothing better on anyayz....keep in mind this was at 12:05am). But now...i am sooooo HOOKED. This is nothing like Degrassi...or Clueless for that matter. It has interesting characters (played by good actors by the way) and very interesting story lines! Plus it's really funny. Sometimes I even laugh out loud. It is such a good show for teens (ages 12-16) although anyone could enjoy watching it. But seriously...when I watch the show (keep in mind that I am 16) I notice that they act, say and do things that me and my friends would do. They characters are not unrealistic or far-fetched. They are just like real teenagers. My favourite character is Ray a.k.a. Pronto...just because I think he's funny yet sweet (especially when talking about/to Lily). I think Kate Todd does a really good job playing Lily...she does it so naturally...and when she has a funny line, she says it rele well..i don't know what it is but she knows how to deliver a line (For example...her character "Lily" was trying to get people to sign her petition and she comes up to a group and shes like "hey do u like music?" and they just walk away and shes like "o...of course you don't..ur ROBOTS"...i dunno why but that was so funny!) But anyways...i think that "Radio Free Roscoe" is a cool show and that they should keep it around for a long time (I fear the day it goes off the air!).

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.

This show could be better. The characters are great- but the story lines are all the same. Basically, all of the episodes are about how either someone almost leaves the station, or how the group almost gets caught. Note the 'almosts'. One thing I do like, though, is the principal. You can tell that though he wants the show off the air, he's reluctant to take serious action to do so, and that leads to some interesting scenes. The relationship between Robbie and Kim is also interesting, as she really likes him, yet is afraid of what will happen if people see their interest in each other. But besides that, the show really isn't that interesting. The-N tried to spice up the show with the Lily-Ray-Travis love triangle, but that's hardly original. I hope that the new characters in the 3rd season will help the show out.

Radio Free Roscoe is a cool show but I didn't like the episode where Lily kisses Travis. That's just plain wrong and I know all of you think Travis is great but come on people! What about Ray? I mean do you see the way Lily looks at him?

I also like the soundtrack and the theme song for the show. Every episode has a good soundtrack but I can't seem to find the information, the name of the person or band that sang that song. Like when I was trying to find a really old song that was used in the episode "Detention Redemption" "two little monkeys sitting in a tree, one is blind and the other can see..."

Maybe because the soundtrack is Canadian and maybe there are like lots of Canadian artists. Anyway, sometimes I think that Lily is really annoying because she likes Ray and just doesn't want to admit it. She also hurt Ray's feelings a couple of times and isn't even sorry about it.

Robbie is a great character too. The thought of him and Kim Carlisle together is cool...they match...but the only problem is that Kim doesn't want to have Robbie as her boyfriend because she's afraid that she'll destroy her reputation. I think Travis, Lily and Ray should thank him because without him...there would be no RFR. Remember that he started the radio station.

Lily is cool but sometimes she can just be plain annoying! She's liked so many guys before and when she thinks of Ray she just pushes him out of her mind and starts to think of other topics...but I also liked the episode where Lily finally went out for a date with Ray...I think I'm seeing a love triangle between Ray and Travis...also, she seems so self-centered...she doesn't think of anybody's feelings but her own...

Ray Brennon...boy can his parents even be more strict? This boy is funny! Lily is his crush but doesn't know how to talk to her about it...he also went out with a girl named Veronica and Lily ended up being jealous...wow that's something...anyway, Ali Mukkaddam does a really good job playing Pronto/Ray.

Travis...he's good and he went out with Amber once but kissed Lily. That's just wrong but I think that he's a great guy! Considering the fact that Ray calls him "Swami" or "Smart Dog" (which is "smog" for short) he's a cool guy...alright I admit it he's a hot guy! But I just don't like the idea of him being with Lily instead of poor Ray...

And that's my whole take of RFR...it's not that I don't like Lily it's just that she's self-centered and doesn't really care about other people's feelings but her own...don't get me wrong Lily Randall fans but I'm a LR fan too it's just that her attitude to Ray...it's not that cool...
