Televison: REVIEW – Radio Free Roscoe

Radio Free Roscoe

I’ve been in love with the series since it was showing on The N around the years of 2003 and 2005. One of my favorite shows to watch, however I know it could not last long, as it was canceled after its fourth season. The cast was wonderful, the plots and stories for each character were well thought out, and the music was overall fantastic. It was a realistic series for anyone progressing through high school.

It shows the way the characters develop friendships and relationships, break ups and parental issues, shed their problems with confidence and learn to grow. It was a very intelligent series. And they fight for a cause. The idea of forming an underground radio station to have some freedom is a wonderful niche to the show. It’s a fantastic show for anyone looking for something enjoyable to watch, to catch a few laughs and relate to.

One other bonus to the show was that it had awesome music. So many independent musicians were played as cut-scene music, background music and so much more. I actually own the soundtrack to the show, which has artists such as Stirling, Reverie Sound Revue, The Pettit Project and many others.

The only DVD collection for the show is the Radio Free Roscoe – Season 1: Greatest Hits, consisting of a collection of main plot driving episodes for the series for that first season. If you look around hard enough, some website online actually have all of the episodes for the series for downloading pleasure. Honestly, I think it would be best to release the series as a DVD boxset for fans who really loved the show. But the selected episodes are great and show the series’ potential.

If there were ever an option to have the top ten voted shows back on the air or continued, Radio Free Roscoe would be my top pick.
