...press release for the show emphasizes this fatal weakness. The assorted colleges attended by “Undergrads’” four main characters comply with only the shallowest stereotypes about post-high school institutions. Gimpy, a student at Tekerson Tech, spends his time playing juvenile pranks on his RA and ordering around his overweight, bespectacled followers. Nitz, an apathetic whiner, and Cal, an airheaded hedonist, attend State U. Rocko, a “maladjusted, underachieving” jock with alcohol issues, attends (you guessed it!) a community college...
...hasn't had a recession since 1990-91 when oil prices spiked after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. And that one was among the shortest and shallowest slumps of the postwar period.

...Ndoki River is the real barrier. Unnavigable and meandering, it is 3 m (10 ft.) deep in places and spreads out into swamps several kilometers wide. Even at its shallowest points, it can take eight hours to cross on foot and is impassable much of the year. We use a pirogue that Kuroda's team has built to resupply his tiny station. Parched by the precarious walk to this point, we cool ourselves with the absolutely pure waters of the Ndoki as we pole through the river grass. Fay thinks he knows why the Pygmies have historically kept...
