It wasn't intentional, but I spent a lot of the past year rewatching Judd Apatow's short-lived FOX comedy "Undeclared." I did a partial rewatch back in December when "Undeclared" came in at No. 21 on my list of TV's Best of the Decade. And then Sepinwall and I did a full revisiting of the series during the summer as a way to fill podcasting time during the sluggish programming weeks.
The lipstick on the "Glory Daze" pig is supposed to be its 1986 setting, but the period is treated as superficially as a fraternity theme party, complete with the same occasional use of kitschy '80s fashions and kitschy '80s music that "Hellcats" used as a joke just two weeks ago. The time period doesn't inform the vernacular or world-view of the characters, so it's just an excuse for predictably trite dramatic irony about things like Ronald Reagan and the implausibility of electronic mail. Sometimes there are visual clues that we're in the past, but there are no character or theme-driven clues. The approach seems to have been, "Look at how things were exactly the same 24 years ago," rather than the more layered and interesting,
I don't want the essence of this review to be "Glory Daze" isn't better than "Undeclared" or "Greek." It isn't, but that isn't the point. "Greek" also isn't as good as "Undeclared," but I like it because from its pilot, despite being about nearly the exact same thing, it introduced at least a half-dozen characters with their own original voices and with senses of humor that feel both smart and funny. The point of the review ought to be that "Glory Daze" it's similar to so many college shows and movies and at least initially offered nothing to cause me to say, "Oh. That's what makes 'Glory Daze' its own thing, that's what makes it 'Glory Daze.'
Although college-set TV shows and movies have always been less prevalent than their high school-set siblings, it's a genre I adore. I happily followed Rory Gilmore to Yale, made it through most of the run of "Saved by the Bell: The College Years," followed the West Beverly gang through their time at California University ("Go Condors!") and I haven't missed an episode of "Hellcats." Even if I accept "Animal House" as the genre's cinematic pinnacle, I can be perfectly happy watching solid ("Drumline"), so-so ("Revenge of the Nerds") or even sub-mediocre (Sorry, "PCU" and "Stomp the Yard" and too many others to count) entries in the genre.
How derivative is "Glory Daze"? Nobody even cares that it snagged its already uncreative title from a 1995 Ben Affleck movie that nobody saw. No, it's not like repeating the title of that movie is going to hurt or help the show, but at some point in the creative process, somebody must have observed, "You know there was already a college comedy with this title, right?" and somebody must have shrugged and said, "Meh. Who cares?" I feel like that was probably the attitude for a whole bunch of things, where somebody asked if the writers cared they were aping a trope from a prior movie/TV show and the response was, "Meh. Who cares?" "Glory Daze" opens in the fall of 1986, with a college DJ quoting Polonius' "To thine own self be true" edict, before adding "How can you be true to yourself if you don't know who you are yet?" That's the theme of "Glory Daze," just as it's the theme of "Greek," "Undeclared" and countless other college entertainments.
Making things even more diffuse are the assorted roommates and potential crushes and future frat brothers who are introduced. And then you have Joel's parents (a couple comedy cameos that I needn't spoil for you), the campus' lone professor (Tim Meadows) and Jason's baseball coach (David Koechner). But the problem clearly isn't just the number of characters we're being asked to warm to. "Undeclared" had to introduce a similarly expansive core cast and did it in only 22 minutes.
One flaw is that the main male characters were cast too similarly. Yes, the jock is a little bit taller and better looking. Yes, the prep is a little more WASP-y, the Jew a little more Semitic. But I still get the feeling they could all wear the same clothes. The casting directors didn't go to the CW Pretty Factory, but they went to the Slightly Off-Brand Pretty Factory next door.
