Blue Mountain State

I feel like going off topic again this week and discussing my new favourite show Blue Mountain State. BMS is comedy show following three-college freshman as they make their way through college life. Now it is a very good thing that I didn’t start watching this show before I started college because if I watched this in high school I would have opted to go to school in the US on a football scholarship. This doesn’t sound like a bad thing but I probably wouldn’t have gone to class and would have been drunk all the time, which would make me have to drop out and work at Wild Wing for the rest of my life. But I digress, I don’t have to do any of those things because I have this show for that, BMS is an excellent show because it shows off the ridicules over the top shenanigans that college kids get into. The show does everything well, the comedy is funny, the girls are hot and the characters are well developed. The main characters, Alex, Sammy and Shillo are relatable to anyone who has been to college. Alex the one who is cool without trying to be, Sammy the one always out to get laid and Shillo the one out to do good in school but party on the weekend. The show even goes all the way with a football show by taking every football player stereo type and putting them all into one character, Thad Castle. He is a dumb, large, sexually frustrated ladies man. It may sound like this show has too much going on to seem balanced but it all seems to flow together. That is not to say the show isn’t without its flaws, the plot holes are about a mile long, like how can these guys spend every hour of every day being drunk or high or both and still win games and pass classes.
