Five years ago, I wrote about Pete Williams trying to bring back Undergrads, possibly as a movie. Undergrads was an animated show on MTV that focused on four friends as they experienced college life. MTV cancelled it into the 6th of 13 episodes.
However, it gained a loyal following in Canada when it was constantly shown on the Teletoon channel, which is how I became familiar with it. Episodes of the show were in heavy rotation and Teletoon viewers were always hopeful that the cliffhanger in episode 13 would be resolved sooner or later.
It turns out it would be much later.
