I've watched this show from the pilot episode and it keeps getting better and better.The cast is pretty much all new actors besides "briggs"(rescue me), so they are not worried about the same crap as an A-list TV actor would ,they want to make the show GREAT and it shows in their performance each episode.The dialog is "real",its how people their age talk and act.Theonly thing i would change about this show is to make more darker.The show is by far my favorite summer show and i keep hearing people talk about it so i know its NOT GOING ANYWHERE anytime soon..SO if you haven't watched this show yet give it a shot its worth the 42mins on a thursday nite,,reporting live from the "HOOD" its ya boy Matt giving u the scoop on whats actually good to watch (nelson ratings r crap)
