Thirty-four-year-old Joel Larsen is an unmarried, dissatisfied salesman when a freak accident jettisons him 20 years into the past to his freshman year of high school. Now, back in 1981 with his 34-year-old mind trapped in his 14-year-old body, Joel (newcomer Penn Badgley) has the unique opportunity to make things turn out differently, both for him and his embarrassingly dysfunctional family. The ultimate wish-fulfillment comedy, Do Over proves that sometimes it does take a boy to do a man's job. Josh Wise, Angela Bethany Goethals (Storytelling), Gigi Rice (The John Larroquette Show), Michael Milhoan (Something So Right) and Natasha Melnick (Freaks and Geeks) also star.less «

  Probably yes because this show attracts alot of fans in this show, but the critics did not see how many fans watch this show. Since the the original actors and actresses are aged already and we have to try this show again, we may need to get new actors and actresses with close resemblances. Since this show was overlooked and the new actors and actresses can be perfect as the original actors and actresses, we may need to put DO in a private network called MY.less «

  This show was absolutely hysterical - shame on WB for getting their panties in a wad and canceling it - AT LEAST RELEASE IT ON DVD! hide « show »

  Seriously - this was such a great TV show - everyone I know who watched it recounted the episode the next day and we laughed about it again! All of us looked forward to it every week. The best episode was when "Joel's Mother" invented lunchables. Too funny. At least the WB should release it on DVD or I-tunes! What is up with you people? It was funny, totally ahead of it's time (years later 13 going on 30 was released and had a good showing). Bring the old episodes back so we can appreciate it, I am sure people will pay to see the whole series.

  So sad it was cancelled. It was a gem of a show. hide « show »

  Do Over is a short lived tv show about a 30 something year old man, Joel Larsen, who is balding, loveless, and in a dead end career. After a freak accident he sent back to relive his high school days in the 1980s. The cool thing is he has full knowledge of all his mistakes and mishaps and can correct them! One of the best thing about this show is the cultural references to the fads, trends, and music of the 80s.This makes one nostalgic for this era, even if one did not grow up or live through it! Although I fell in love Penn Badgley, who plays Joel Larsen, I think Josh Wise, who plays Pat Brody, is the real star of the show. He has so much charisma, and adds so many layers to his character. And his chemistry with his other co-star Natasha Melnick who plays Isabel Meyers is amazing. They're always bickering, making fun of one another, and just generally make me happy with their bantering.I so wish this show had stayed longer, but I guess it didn't click with it's intended audience.

  an underappreciated show hide « show »

  i first caught this show on late night channel 4(uk). i thought it was a good pilot so continued to watch the show. i liked the idea of the show and thought it was a bad idea to cancel the show. the show's star joel and his two close friends are great characters acted out well.

  I miss this show too! hide « show »

  Is so unfair that this show is over!
  I just loved the opening theme and the plot was very interesting!
  Do Over was funny, inteligent and even original in some parts! Of course the idea of the show wasn't new, but I didn't care! heheeh
  I still remember that episode with the Green Day's song! Awesome!

  oh how i miss this show.... hide « show »

  When this show first ran its promos on the WB, I assumed it would be just like all the other shows that have been done with this concept, but I was pleasantly suprised with this witty and nostalgic sitcom. Basically a tribute to everything 80s.
  
  Though it is your typical "freak accident causes man to go back in time to the time of his childhood" stories.... there is something different with this particular sitcom. Witty, warm, and touching, each episode was equally as good as the other.
  
  Also something worth mentioning is the reoccuring character of Coach Dorsey played by Thomas F. Wilson of Back to the Future fame (Bif H. Tannen).
