everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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.

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.

This is not the worse show I've ever seen, but that's the best review I can give it. There is nothing underground about this show. The characters are corny and cookie cutter. The whole premise of this show is kids deciding what music they want to hear on the radio. Okay... but RFR doesn't play any top 40 or would they if someone requested it, so In actuality RFR is just as judge mental as the "radio" they protest. I hate to tell whoever, but just because a band "plays" an instrument doesn't make them good or underground. Ray may be the only character even interesting and that's stretching things. Kids should stick to Degrassi. It has its contrived moments, but it's a hell of a lot more real than this show.

First, I would just like to say that, in the tradition of "Pete and Pete," Will McRobb has truly made an intelligent, entertaining, relatable show for children and young teenagers. I thought the pilot was rather lackluster. (Let's be honest. The pilot was horrible.) But every episode since has been excellent and earnest. However, my only complaint about the show is that you have to suspend your disbelief to watch it.Why do you have to suspend your disbelief? Not because four intelligent teenagers couldn't run a pirate radio station, but because of the inconsistencies on the show. First, I understand that the show is produced in Canada, so there is no FCC. However, Canada is a civilized, Western nation with its own system of radio regulation, so you can't just set up an antenna and start broadcasting without a license. In one episode, Ray (Pronto) even admits on the air that they are unlicensed. So, in theory, if one were running an illegal radio station, one wouldn't want to make it easy to be caught. So how can you run a pirate radio station with a call-in line?! Even if the number is unlisted, it would be extraordinarily easy for the police or any other techno-savvy person to trace it. In the episode where Principal Waller was having the graffiti investigated by the police, or at least was about to, don't you think the first thing the police would do would be to trace the phone number? In addition, if Waller really wanted RFR off the air that badly, he could just report them to Canada's equivalent of the FCC, and they would trace the phone number. And even if they were illegally tapping into a phone number that wasn't theirs, it would still be an easy matter for the police to trace where these taps were coming from, especially if RFR uses the same phone number each time.Again, I love Radio Free Roscoe. I think it's an excellent, well-written show, and that the entire cast has talent, (especially Kate Todd, who I hope will really be going places). However, the show just doesn't make any sense. Though, I suppose you can write it off to Will McRobb's penchant for abstraction, a la Pete and Pete.
