Undergrads

History

Unsuccessful revival and ''Undergrads: The Movie''

Overview

Characters

Main

• Parker "Nitz" Walsh is the protagonist. He is shy and attends State U, a generic university. He often finds himself torn between hanging out with his old high school friends, the new friends he's made at college, and pining after his high school crush, Kimmy Burton. Nitz is based on series creator, Pete Williams.
• Rocko is a boorish, alcoholic, chain-smoking fratboy. He attends the local Central State Junior Community College and is a proud member of the Alpha Alpha fraternity, although he is not respected by his fellow frat brothers, who view him as an obnoxious nuisance. His only interests are alcohol and women, although most women do not reciprocate his clumsy advances and often rebuff him. He is bitterly jealous of Cal's popularity with women and is often shown openly expressing his disdain for the latter whenever he interacts with him.
• Cal Evans is Nitz' roommate. Although dimwitted, his good looks make him very popular with women. He speaks in a high-pitched voice, frequently drools, and calls people "guy".
• Justin "Gimpy" Taylor is a reclusive nerd who attends the tech institute Tekerson Tech. He almost never leaves his room, primarily communicating with his friends via video chat. Gimpy uses the online alias "G Prime" and commands a group of fellow geeks to act as his minions. He is a fiercely devoted Star Wars fan and has a vendetta against Star Trek.

  Supporting

• Jessie a friend and neighbor of Nitz, also goes to State U. Jessie has a very laid back, punk-girl-type personality on campus. She often accompanies Nitz on his misadventures and often provides a level-headed and mature point of view. Although Nitz openly pines for Kimmy Burton throughout the show's run, Jessie develops a crush on Nitz to which he is oblivious. Jessie's frustration with Nitz eventually results in outright spite for Kimmy. The character is voiced by Jene Yeo, upon whom the character is based.
• Kimmy Burton is a clueless redheaded girl Nitz has had a crush on since high school. Kimmy attends State U and tries to be involved with all of the on-campus activities. Spacey and self-centered, she is completely oblivious to Nitz's affections. Kimmy is romantically interested in Mark, another drama student at the college, but does not realize he is gay despite Mark making little to no effort to hide his sexuality.
• Mump attends Tekerson Tech and is Gimpy's lead minion and sidekick. He is a short and overweight nerd with glasses. Mump is fiercely protective of his friendship with Gimpy and often agrees with him regardless of whether he should or not. Mump is a member of ROTC.

  Recurring

• Doug "The Duggler" is the resident assistant at the State U dorms where Nitz and Cal reside. He is depicted as a social relic from the 1960s counterculture, sporting an overall stereotypical hippie-like motif. He always wears a bathrobe, which he tells Cal is an unofficial uniform for State U RAs. He is something of a social inept, with a forced way of speaking, refers to himself in the third person, and often denies himself opportunities to partake in unofficial student events and fun. Other students appear indifferent to him.
• Craig is the leader of Rocko's fraternity Alpha Alpha. He along most of the other fraternity brothers dislikes and have no respect for Rocko due to him being obnoxious but often take pity on him.
• Charity is Jessie's air-head roommate. She is obsessed with her ex-boyfriend Jonah, who left her prior to the series' beginning. She briefly dates Rocko when he tries to use her to make his ex-girlfriend jealous.
• SHE PRIME is a female hacker at Tekerson Tech. According to the episode guide on the series' official website, her name is Tabitha. After hacking Gimpy, the two of them begin a brief online relationship that ends badly due to Gimpy's self-sabotage. Although they never meet in person, SHE-Prime and Gimpy's dorm rooms are immediately next to one another and are completely oblivious that they are neighbours. It is widely believed that if the show were to have continued, she would have had a love/hate relationship with Gimpy.
• Spud is a diehard Trekkie and Gimpy's archnemesis. He was the original leader of Tekerson Tech's students, but was overthrown once Gimpy moved into the Tekerson residence.
• Mark, the drama guy. He attends State U and is found often by Kimmy's side. Both Kimmy and Nitz are oblivious to the fact Mark is gay.
• Lance, Mark's boyfriend who also attends State U. He is more often than not mentioned by Mark than seen on screen, though he is seen briefly carrying a couch in Roommates and singing showtunes at the end of Screw Week.
• Rob Brodie is one of Jessie's friends. He is a film student who is frequently caught over-hyping whatever he's involved with. He often introduces himself when entering a room, even to people he knows.
• Kruger is another of Jessie's friends. Kruger is a foul-mouthed smoker and a pessimist who often disagrees with everyone. Prone to exclaiming "Fuck ___!", the space filled with whatever subject those around him were talking about.
• Dan is a friend of Jessie's who has no speaking lines in the entire series - all he does is laugh.
• Gimpy's Minions are a troupe of nerds and geeks led by Gimpy at Tekerson Tech, much like a private army. Mump is a nominal second-in-command to Gimpy. Aside from Gimpy and Mump themselves, none of this group are identified by their real names.
• Rita is the tyrannical Resident Assistant of Gimpy's dorm at Tekerson Tech. She wears glasses, has her hair in a bun and wears an 'RA' armband. Her slippers are shaped like sharks. She dislikes Gimpy and frequently tries to foil his plans. She has a brief fling with Cal when Gimpy uses him to distract her.
• Stoner Dave is a stereotypical "stoner", recognizable by his black shirt, slouch and abnormally large nose.
• Studious Dave is a bespectacled ambitious African-American student at State U who is obsessed with finding things that will look good on his application to Wharton.
