SERIES PREMIERE: British series turned into shows for the U.S. market usually end up as dim shadows of their former selves, but this Americanized remake of the British comedy of the same name seems to translate well – with elements of everything from Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The “in-betweeners” in this comedy, set at a modern-day high school, are called that because they’re not the cool kids, and not the freaks and geeks – they’re in-between. And because it’s on MTV, it’s got an edge, especially with the dialogue. For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
