    Wow. I found this online and like another viewer, was hooked! I just watched all 8 episodes and surprised that it ended so soon. Smart, funny and the cast has really great dynamics. Based on the premise of 3 young male teens attending a previously all-girl high school. Since they're the only males, they stick out and attempt to fit in. One hilarious scene has them singing at the school's Ladies Night, where groups of girls get together and since "empowerment" type songs. The guys dress in drag and deliver a stunning performance. Another funny episode has these guys coming to the sudden realization that they've been "chickified", and are now behaving like girls (going to the bathroom together, 3-way calling about their day, exchanging cooking recipes). There's too many laugh-out-loud moments to list.Disappointing that we'll never get to see what happens to Jed & Kate or Cary &Stella. Jed (Milo Ventimiglia) is a good guy, but he has insecurities, especially related to the opposite sex. There's a lot of talk about sex in this series: contemplating, attempting to get laid, etc. But it's not the sole focus, it's definitely not overdone. One of the best moments is when Jed tells Miranda that he doesn't want to lose his virginity so soon, because he wants to do it when he can be sure that he'll make the girl feel good. A sweet, but conflicted and complex character. Kate (Allison Mack), who's smarter than most adults and can always make Jed laugh, is his true crush, but he gets distracted by the seemingly easy Miranda. Miranda loves shocking people for the sake of it, for example her birthday party "theme" focused on finding two virgins to "sacrifice" at her choosing.Phil (Kyle Howard) & Cary are the only other two boys at the school. Phil being a "walking GPA" super-focused on doing everything right to get into college including running for city councilman. Cary's not so smart, and tries to define his reputation as a ladies man, but turns out to be a sweet and good-natured. A funny thing about there being only 3 boys at the school, is that the have to wear the same gym uniform as the girls (bright yellow shirt with purple shorts)and their "locker room" is actually the janitor's basement.This had great actors and great writing, it's really a shame that FOX cancels its best shows all the time. It never had a chance to reach all of its intended audience and its full potential. What's most delightful is seeing actors like Milo Ventimiglia, Allison Mack and Kyle Howard in earlier roles.

    My dream is to go to an all girl school so that for once I can get noticed! This show is like my favorite. Its funny, entertaining, and it has a good story towards Jed and Kate how their friends but their both like too shy to ask each other out. What makes the show entertaining is Phil and Carey. Without them, the show just wouldn't be the same. Phil is the smart one who actually knows what he's doing. Although Carey, all he thinks about is sex, girls, etc. Jed is in between. He's mature and he's not like Carey..... And not like Phil as well. He's smart, but not that smart, and he doesn't always think about sex because sometimes he's not comfortable with it. Now there's also Stella and Miranda. Stella, the pretty looking one but yet, she's mean. She's not really into guys so she has doubt about them (Jed, Phil and Carey) going to the all girl school. (I forgot the name of the school so please don't mind!) And then there was Miranda. Now her relationship is not as serious as Jed and Kate, but my opinion is that she does have a small crush on him. You could tell a little bit..... But what do I know?! I can't understand girls!So overall, I think that this is a great show and I hope this show will last for a very long long long long long time.

    From the advertisements I saw for this show it looked like it would just be completely plotless; as if the point of this show was just to attract guys to gawk at all the girls. I decided to watch an episode and I was happy to see there actually was a plot and a good one I might add. I can't wait to see more episodes. However, this does seem like the type of show that would get cancelled soon; I don't think they get too many viewers. But it should be fun while it lasts.

    Three guys trapped in an all girls school - finally, a teen show with a unique perspective. There's no talking to the camera, it's not self aware and annoying. Opposite Sex is funny, original, and the lead actor, Milo is absolutely adorable.
