Time to start repaying my debts to society-whatever they may be. I'll start by introducing this great show that no one saw. Can you recognize a couple of those pictured above? Yes thats Linda Cardellini from ER and yes thats Jason Segal from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Oh wait, there's also Seth Rogen from Knocked Up and James Franco from the Spiderman movies. Wait a minute? This show has all of these great actors in it? How could i have dismissed this? Well, quite frankly, no one saw this show and it got the boot waaaay too soon. The cult tv show was about two distinct groups which most of us may be all too familiar with. It follows Lindsay Weir and her little brother Sam Weir as they go through the highschool experience through two different perspectives, but the end result is the same, to be accepted.
Everyone is familiar with your typical highschool show about beautiful people who constantly deal with relationship issues blah blah blah. Freaks and Geeks is for REAL people-people who didn't hang out with the cool kids. Did i mention this show takes place in the 80's? Oh, it also has one of the best soundtracks a show could ever ask for! If you were ever picked on in highschool, or where the one doing the picking, then this show is JUST for you. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp, you'll scream, you'll love every character as if they were close friends you have known for ages. So go ahead, watch the series that didn't last for long. Become ONE of us. ONE OF US. ONE OF US. Give it a try. Next thing you know, you'll be catching yourself humming Lindsay's Theme.
And, the whole series is on youtube!
I'll post a link to the pilot episode.
If you've been recently wanting to fall in love with someone, this is it. Just don't fall TOO in love with it. It may cause heartbreak to some, and thats a good thing!
p.s. The series was produced by Judd Apatow
