Anyone Recall That Fox Show, "Free Ride"-??

I've seen a few episodes so far of this series, and pretty amusing. It seems a little "deja vu" though since didn't Fox do a similar show to this about ten years ago or so called "Free Ride"-?? That may not have been the only one.

This show pertains to a twenty-something character (the titular "Cooper Barrett"), and, along with his live-in buddies, his fight for survival in the post-higher education environment. He occasionally must go beg his older bro (really the only actor I recognize on this show so far- "The Hangover"'s Justin Bartha) for help, but mostly must think of creative ways to get out of entering the work force and becoming a responsible, contributing adult.

Each show begins with a dilemma, and then flashes back to how he and his associates got themselves into said dilemma. One episode had the main characters attempting a "start-up" company for a "hangover cure". My favorite involved the theft of the TV, and attempt to get back. LOL

"A single mom caught up in the Florida drug trade during the late 1970s tries to make a better life for her two girls."

That is the only 'Free Ride' I can find and it doesn't sound right...

Although, I believe this show's cliche has been run through a few (hundred) times so it's hard to say.

'Sunny in Philadelphia' starts cold and flashes back, sometimes.

Ah, yes, I remember seeing that movie not too long ago, but I was referring to this short-lived Fox series:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460641/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

Both are live-action Fox sunday nite shows that involve the adventures of a twenty-something guy and his friends in the aftermath of graduating from college, although the earlier show was set in the 1990s, and the character lived with his parents.

Yea, I remember that show. It was my favorite show at the time. More of the fact I just finish college and I could relate. Too bad it got cancel after 5 episodes and never released the other shows.
