History YMMV / Undeclared

* {{Moe}} - Rachel, but that was mainly [[Creator/MonicaKeena the actress]].

** Creator/SethRogen himself acknowledges this in one of the commentaries.

* WhatAnIdiot: Steven. Woobieness aside, taking Lizzie's phone and calling Eric just to dick around with him and talk about how him and Lizzie are getting married wasn't smart.

* RetroactiveRecognition: All of the actors are still active today, but most of them have become rather big names. Seth Rogen for ''Film/KnockedUp'' (and most of Creator/JuddApatow's other stuff), Jay Baruchel for ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' and ''Film/TheSorcerersApprentice'', Jason Segel for ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', and Charlie Hunnam for ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' (at least in the US).
** A Pre-''Series/{{Smallville}}'' Tom Welling has a brief moment in the pilot as one of the guys Steven invites to their party, and a pre-''Series/TheOfficeUS'' Jenna Fischer makes a few appearances.
** Although Amy Poehler was already on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' at the same time her episodes aired, her character bears quite a few resemblances to a younger [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Leslie Knope]].

* ParvumOpus: "The Assistant" is widely considered to be the lone bad episode in an otherwise great series. Apatow himself has admitted that it was mostly a ratings-grabber episode, using Adam Sandler's celebrity appeal to draw viewers to the critically lauded but ratings starved series. What follows is a massive IdiotPlot for Steven and especially Lizzie that adds little to the series' narrative and makes Lizzie, in particular, look bad.

* TooGoodToLast - A lot of factors where involved with sabotaging this show. Apatow believes that the show premiering 12 days after 9/11 was the worst because it was hard to be dedicated to this tiny little sitcom when the world was falling apart.

* TheWoobie: Steven. His parents get divorced and his father loses his job only 3 episodes in, his father starts to become an alcoholic, the girl who he has a crush on has sex with him and then continues to jerk around with his affections because of her former boyfriend, said former boyfriend chases after him and tries to beat him up in one episode, he constantly tries to find somewhere to belong through fraternities and religious organizations only to end up being used or lied to, he's a self-admitted straight D student, and through all this his so-called "friends" in the dorm constantly mock and insult him. Frankly it's a wonder he doesn't just drop out.
