Synopsis

Radio Free Roscoe was a Canadian television series filmed in Toronto, Ontario. The show was produced by Decode Entertainment, and it first aired on 1 August 2003 on Family, in Canada. It has also been dubbed in French in the province of Quebec and aired on VRAK.TV. The show was later aired on The N in the United States, where the show received funding for a second season. The series ended on 27 May 2005 because The N decided to stop funding the show, and Family, along with Decode Entertainment, could not fill the gap in the production budget. The show was shown on Family until 2007, when it was replaced. In early 2008, The N began rebroadcasting reruns. The pilot was first filmed in New Jersey, with an entirely different cast. Then, the show was going to be based in Nutley, New Jersey and was titled Radio Free Nutley. The show was never picked up until Decode Entertainment decided to move production to Toronto and change the cast and title of the show. However, the show was still set in suburban New Jersey.

bowser_a I think Radio Free Roscoe is by far one of the most well-written and produced dramatic or otherwise Canadian television programs in years. You cannot help but fall in love with the show or its characters. Funny, charming, and rebellious, RFR is undoubtedly easy viewing.The show has everything, and although the second season may have focused a bit too much on romance and less on what made the show so unbelievably popular among a demographic of fans in its first season, I still have yet to view a 'bad' episode.RFR gives a universal message about individuality and following one's heart, despite adversity, and I would recommend it to people of all ages.
atomius This show is certainly enjoyable to watch. Simply put it features the story of a group of high school students who create their own underground radio station after being frustrated at the official one, Cougar. They sometimes have their differences but generally come out well. the show is certainly worth watching and is very enjoyable. In Australia it is shown before Daria and i think they make a perfect match. the show is a grand look inside radio technology, the lives of teenagers in modern day America and and interesting view of school politics. I give it 9/10. Also worth mentioning is the excellent theme graphics.
tydie_12 Kids under 16 these days think just like the RFR cast. Thats why this show is so popular. I don't look at the fact that they are are doing something that they are not sup-post to do( illegal ). This is what kids under 16 relate to! Kids think like this, and believe that it would be so cool to talk on a radio station! Some people try to look at the negative sides of things, but most of the time there are more positive things to look at. This show "RFR" gives kids a goal, an influence. This show does do some stuff "illegal" but the characters in "RFR" always do their homework, barely ever get detention, make a commitment! These kids are committing to something. Wouldn't you rather have your kid committed to something like a radio station rather then drugs or something else terrible? "RFR" shows it exactly like it is! this is how it is for kids in our world. Their are always going to be groups that kids hang in. This show isn't a bad thing! Its a good thing. There may be bad parts to this show, but the bad things you have to LOOK for, the kids things you can see right away. i am a fan of RFR , thats why i am so passionate about this topic. so is "RFR" good or bad? i vote good.
Section31_DS9 Despite some of the comments here, I don't believe RFR is in fact set in Canada. In the 'Think Pink' episode, Lily made a comment about RFR not being NPR -- NPR being National Public Radio, a solely American institution. Not to say a Canadian wouldn't make such an analogy -- but not on a TV show supposedly set in Canada. In the same episode, Lily and another character made references to what they learned about President Abraham Lincoln in their History class. Speaking as a Canadian high school graduate, I can tell you we learn shamefully little about American history at that level.It's not conclusive evidence, but it points very strongly towards the show being set in the U.S.
