By all reason it should be gone. Undergrads is a cartoon series that ran fo a single season of 13 episodes. While in college Pete Williams submitted a short pilot animation clip of an idea he had, The Click, to an MTV contest. MTV decided they liked the concept, and with some development it became Undergrads. MTV teamed up with Canada's Teletoon to produce the series. But while Teletoon apparently did well with the series and wanted more, MTV didn't. Teletoon never managed to find a new financial partner, but they sure got their money's worth out of the series, playing it multiple times over the years despite its short length. After its last runthrough a few years ago I had assumed it wasn't coming back, so when I saw it listed on the January schedule Teletoon put out in late December I assumed this was just a mistake.
But nope, when I checked the PVR Tuesday morning the first episode, "Party," was there. Coming up on ten years after its debut the show is once more getting a runthrough on Teletoon. It's amazing that it just won't stay dead. No, no new episodes are likely, and like many fans I've got the DVD. But it's still satisfying to have it back, and hopefully it will pick up some new fans.
