While we're talking about guilty pleasures [1], another one of mine also starts its new season tonight: ABC Family's Greek [2]. I admit I was oblivious to the show until the cast took the stage last summer at the TCA press tour [3], but one session with cuties like Spencer Grammer (yes, daughter of Kelsey) and Michael Cera buddy Clark Duke [4], and one free, orange beer cozy later, I'd been won over.

For the uninitiated (heh!), the show centers on a group of college kids at the fictional Cyprus-Rhodes University — specifically Rusty (Jacob Zachar) and his big sister, Casey (Grammer). There's a lot more hooking up and scandal than I'd expect from an ABC Family show — some plot lines wouldn't seem out of place on the over-the-top CW teen soap — but there's still something earnest and endearing about the series. And the further away I get from my own college years, the more I find myself enjoying this voyeuristic look at sorority and fraternity life.

Last Thursday, I got the chance to chat with Grammer about the show, life on the set, and whether Casey and Cappie (Scott Michael Foster, also recently seen in Quarterlife [5]) are the next Ross and Rachel. To check out video from our satellite interview, just .
