Pacific Cove Media provided music for this dynamic HBO series along with Pete Scaturro and Planet Grande Pictures. "Freshmen Year" was essential in the introduction to high school for many kids with "cold feet". (still running)
Freshman Year was a 14 episode documentary series that was filmed during the 1999-2000 School year and premiered on HBO Family in August of 2001, it still comes on every now and then
I went to Chatsworth! I was a freshman the year after they filmed this, 2000. Watching this brought back tons of memories! The only thing this show is missing is Mr. Shockley
Man this brings back memories. I was placed in a group home and was a freshman at this school when this was filmed. I remember alot of those faces and the HBO crews following folks around but most of all I remember all the shit that would go on in those streets during and after school. I remember having a knife pulled on me the first day of school for a dollar but my ass ran like Usain bolt. Had to fight and run alot out there because shit would escalate quick.
Are you ever going to upload the full season?? This show was hilarious and filmed right around the same time I was in HS so I’ve always wanted to re-Watch it again!!
I used to watch reruns of this show often in the early 2000s when I was in elementary and middle school. It made me look forward to high school (and also a little scared). Good thing I made it through high school, college, and more ;).
I was a senior at CHS while this was filmed. I was the drum major for band at the time and the crew followed one of the Freshmen band members (I cant remember her name). I wasnt a nice upperclassmen and I admit that (i didnt haze, but I grew up too fast and took it out on those younger than me...I was in the wrong). I wonder where the other episodes are...
@@ladee21818 WEIRD!!! My first day at CHS (10th grade), I was trying to find my next class and Matt walked up to me asking to cut my "bottom" length hair at the time. Cassell's have a hair thing lol
Now these kids are in their 30s 😳 I wonder how chatsworth high school is now since the world is diffrent now and 1,000 freshman whew Chile my freshman class was 150 and only 50 of us made it to graduation and these were so mature looking freshman ! Imma look up the castle brothers on FB see what became of them
3:45 i did that my first day of high school ten years after this was filmed in 2009. i name dropped my older siblings that went/currently attending my school lol
Dam, I was in 9th grade when this was filmed that year in Chatsworth.. I remember Matt & Justin Cassell, Ruby (dyed neon her hair weekly), .. They only filmed certain kids though.. And Jaime was a biotch🤣🤣🤣I miss you Mr. Shockley from B1 detention room, he was awesome and took care of me.. I miss you Mr. Andre Hayes, I appreciated your wisdom💙💚 Crystal Brock Class of 2004
This was an awful ghetto school. I had the honor of going to this trash heap school, filled with horrible teachers etc. Not much learning went on here. Jamie has a disgusting attitude, but she was spot on with a lot of what she said LOL
Yeah Chatsworth had its negatives, that's why I transferred out.. But also had some good things too when I was there while they filmed this.. Btw, never liked Jaime she was just a biotch for nothing..
