Product Description
See life through the eyes of Dino, Ben, and Jonathan -- three teens experiencing the joys and pains of growing up -- in this critically acclaimed series from the producers of FREAKS AND GEEKS. Although different in many ways, these guys have one main thing in common -- women. Dino can have any girl he wants, and wants his first time to be with his girlfriend Jackie. However, their relationship is tested when a scandal in his family erupts. Ben has the hots for his English teacher, and to his surprise, finds out that she feels the same about him! Together, their attitudes about women are challenged, and they discover there's more to life than meets the eye. Now you can enjoy all 13 episodes of LIFE AS WE KNOW IT in this amazing DVD box set. Featuring two unaired episodes and incredible bonus materials, it's everything that a fan could want ... and more.

Based on the controversial British novel, Doing It by Melvin Burgess, this edgy teen drama follows the friendships of three coming-of-age boys through the angst of adolescence--and does so with candor, humor, and occasionally eloquence. The three-disc set includes 11 one-hour episodes from the show's only season (2004-2005), two unaired episodes ("Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Junk," and "Papa Wheelie"), and a bevy of bonus features including deleted scenes, audio commentaries, and a gag reel. Set in Seattle, Dino, Ben, and Jonathan are a trio of hormonally charged high schoolers trying to navigate through the confusion of girls, broken families, and their never-satiated sexual appetites. They, along with their girlfriends, frequently step out from the story's action to narrate their inner thoughts--not an original idea, but effective. While the "Pilot" and "Pilot Junior" episodes are overtly sexual, the series quickly becomes more multi-dimensional, artfully exploring complex issues of identity, popularity, body image, trust, and the consequences of irresponsible behavior. As the boys' emotions are unveiled, their personal predicaments become the show's primary focus; their sexual exploits secondary. Funny, frank, and smart, the writing refrains from moralizing nor stoops to a soap-fest, making this a stand out among similar dramas (with producers from Freaks and Geeks and My So Called Life). The male protagonists are decent actors in endearing roles, yet one of the show's strongest performances is from Kelly Osbourne who plays Jonathan's sometimes girlfriend, Deborah. The series is not without flaws, which include some cliché plotlines involving illicit affairs between teacher/student and mother/coach. Sexuality, profanity, and mature themes.

For those who get the DVD set, the thirteen episodes (two of which were not aired after the show was canceled) are spread across three discs. The extras include commentary tracks on select episodes, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and a photo gallery. So, a good amount for those who like watching the bonus features, especially for a show that was canceled without airing all of the episodes.
Overall, the show is very good. It dealt with issues that many people go through as teens (and adults). The student-teacher relationship storyline was probably what tanked the show. Of course, it was not the first or last time such a storyline had played out on a TV series; Dawson's Creek did a similar storyline years earlier, and more recently Hulu had the series A Teacher. But, Dawson's Creek was on a smaller network, and that kind of storyline was much less controversial in 2020 when A Teacher was made than in 2004. While the show had a ridiculously attractive cast, the writing was very good, and the young stars were very good actors. I have been surprised that only Peregrym and Lucas really had strong TV careers after this series ended. Given that the series ended abruptly, it never really gets a proper ending. The last show that aired is actually a better series finale than either of the two unaired episodes, but those do give you an idea of how the series would have progressed had it not been canceled. But, just know that the show does not get anything close to a satisfying ending. That said, I do think it is worth watching as the main themes of the show are pretty timeless and hold up well even years later.
Eventhough many critics enjoyed the show, the show still had many problems facing it. The show was based on the English novel "doing it" and which you can guess from the title was very frank and had more sexual stuff in it than your normal teen fair. The show (although toned down a little) still keeps that prospective of teenagers, and sicne was bashed by the FCC (in post-Janet Jackson days and several Parent groups).
Since I had previously read the book I was extremly excited when I first heard about this show. When the pilot aired surprisingly enough I was not dissapointed, the show took the essance of the book, added a few american twists and ran with it. Although the ratings never went higher than 5 million viewers, the show quickly became my favorite show on the air.
The show is about three teenage boys who happen to be best friends (one is a Jock, one is a Nerd, and the Other just exsist). All three of these boys are in different areas of growing up (mentally speaking) and they are always having problems with their respected female counterparts (The Jock, the Freak, and the Brain). But that just the outside. On the outside the show was the most realistic look at what High School life is like in the post 2000 years, that rivals "My So Called Life" in the amount of depth is put onto screen.
This is show is a must for anyone that enjoyed "My so called life" and "Freaks and Geeks." But I must warn you if your looking of "The OC" I suggest "Beverly Hills 90210" (which is a good show in its own right when there where in high school).
