"Semester" ("Campus Quad" - Canadian title)

Genre: Situational Comedy
Cast: Christopher - Dante Basco ("Hook", "The Debut")
Tui - Pua Magasiva ("Sione's Wedding")
Matt - Christopher Masterson ("Malcolm in the Middle")
Luke - Seth Green ("Austin Powers")
Kesa - Keisha Castle-Hughes ("Whale Rider")
Morris - Nick Cannon ("Drumline")


Time slot: Mondays, 8 PM
Network: NBC

Summary: The sitcom revolves around four sophomore roommates at a fictitious university in Virginia: Christopher (a genius, party animal from the Bay Area who succeeds without effort), Tui (an afakasi Samoan trying to break the family tradition of attending college on a football scholarship), Matt (a Virginia kid putting himself through college by working multiple jobs), and Matt's fraternal twin Luke (also working through college). Kesa is Tui's little sister who lives in the freshman hall. She identifies more with her Caucasian heritage, which adds a little twist to the yin and yang relationship that she has with her brother. Morris is a jock who lives on the boys' floor, and is the source of unrest to the mostly-academic boys.

"Pusoy" ("Pepito": Hawaii title)

Easy format here. With all the hullaballo about hold'em poker on ESPN and some other "high number" channels, why not have a show for Philippine poker?
