OK now before you start reading this review, let’s keep a couple of things in mind. I am a 20 year old college student, and thus, I have a 20 year old college guy’s sense of humor. Blue Mountain State hits all the marks with girls, beer, and its brilliant crude humor. Oh yea, there’s some football in it too.

“There aren’t a lot of shows on TV anymore that can make me laugh this hard”, one of my friends said to me last Tuesday night. In the vein of “Animal House,” “Blue Mountain State” follows three incoming freshman in a big-time, Midwestern college football program. Alex is a talented quarterback, content to ride the bench while partying with his best friend Sammy, who aspires to be the school’s mascot. Craig, on the other hand, is a number one recruit and future Pro whose life is already mapped out for him by his controlling girlfriend. Will they be able to juggle football, girls, class and nonstop hazing?

The short answer is yes, regarding the fact that seven weeks into it’s first season, SpikeTV has stated that there will be a second season. Week after week, this show keeps the jokes fresh and the characters frighteningly similar to people I have actually met since being at college. If there is one point I would want to make about BMS, it’s that Thad Castle, the team’s dense, starting middle linebacker, is the glue of this show. His relationship with Alex produces nothing but hilarious situations that leaves you contemplating the fact that college football players might actually be a dumb as some stereotypes suggest. Nonetheless, at least give this show a try. If you a guy, I guarantee you will laugh. If you are girl and you laugh, you’re just awesome. Catch BMS Tuesday nights at 10pm on Spike.
