Freaks and Geeks is a wildly amusing, hour-long, television series that came out in 1999. I happened to catch a few of these episodes back then and was hooked. Over the last decade I have seen every single episode created; this is partly due to the fact that there is only 1 season with 18 episodes!
So, why is this show so awesome? Could it be because it was created by the now, extremely successful, Judd Apatow? Or is it because it has such celebrity superstars as Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, and Thomas F. Wilson? (that's of Biff Tannen fame folks) More than likely it's the combination of the two, and the comedic, yet lesson-teaching plots that remind me of The Wonder Years, but edgier.
Everyone should do themselves a favor and watch a few of these episodes if not the whole season.
PROS
- Funny
- Good stories
- Great chance to see actors destined to be stars in the near future (meaning right now)
- Biff is in the show
- Lessons to be learned - maybe you can learn something
CONS
- Only one season!
For what it's worth I give this show a high ten (that's two high fives, equivalent to two thumbs up)
Seriously LOVE this show. It makes me so mad they cancelled it after one season but things like The Bachelor are still on the air.
