NBC wrapped the inaugural run of 'Friends With Benefits' (Fri., 8PM ET on NBC) this past Friday with a special guest appearance from 'Greek's Cappie. But Scott Michael Foster wasn't the same party-loving frat boy we came to know and love there ... at least, he wasn't when Riley tracked him down after their fling.But that's because old Cappie, now Daniel, was a fine, upstanding member of an Amish community. Riley was simply one of the best parts of his Rumspringa. While it's generally not as crazy as depicted on television, this is a time of adolescence for many young Amish that can be a bit more lax on the rules.

Greek: At World's End (season finale) - open thread
by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 16th 2009 2:45PM

Greek seems to be one of those shows that has a fairly big following but no one really talks about. Maybe it's because it's on ABC Family or maybe it's because there are other similar dramas on other networks that get more attention. But last night was the season finale of the show. So Casey has a lot to think about after...falling into a manhole?
The new season starts on Monday, August 31.
Greek season two -- an early look
by Isabelle Carreau, posted Aug 26th 2008 2:02PM
"Our friendship can be tested anywhere." - Rusty to CalvinSince it's July 9, 2007, premiere on ABC Family, Greek has been one of weekly TV guilty pleasures. I've been enjoying its light and fun stories as well as the evolving and imploding relationships and friendships between the characters.
Having had the chance to read a few spoilers about the upcoming season these past few weeks, it looked like Greek would be as fun to watch as it was in its first season. However, something can look good on paper and turn out quite differently on the screen. Luckily, it is not the case for Greek; at least not according to the season premiere, which I had the chance to watch.
Slight spoilers coming up!
