Everybody has been raving about Ithaca College's smart new sitcom, Ivy, a show that parodies life on East Hill, and may hit a little bit too close to home for students of certain social persuasions. But a year before the show debuted, Cornellian Branden Buehler '08 came up with a similar premise -- The C.U. a la The O.C. Interestingly, the punchline of the season finale of Ivy featured one of the main characters transferring to Harvard after becoming despondent with all of the ridiculous personalities that surrounded her at Cornell. But in The C.U., the main character transfers to Cornell after being expelled from Harvard for illegal drug use. I'll leave it to the reader to determine which show has better acting and production merits, but both are pretty entertaining.
