CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
russellagriffith@aol.com Freaks and Greeks was only on one season but that season was amazing Every character is three dimension and beautifully drawn. Every plot line pays off. As great as it was, it's probaly best it ended when it did because it would impossible to top the final episode for pure perfection. No matter your age, this show captures the truth of growing up.
Gonzalo Bourren (Gonzob) I'm 18 years old and I have just finished watching the whole season of Freaks and Geeks and I loved it. Maybe it's because lately I've been watching numerous high school movies and I always have this feeling that's a bit nostalgic. I don't why, but even though I haven't lived some things or been in some places, I feel nostalgia for them. So I found out about F&G when I was reading some article on the internet about the best TV shows of all time. So I started watching the first minutes of the pilot and I was a bit disappointed because it was a bit corny and didn't look really good. Despite this, I tried watching it again a few weeks later and I was hooked on it. The characters, the whole high school vibe, the family, everything. I'm a bit cynical about feeling identified with characters in movies or TV shows. But to my surprise, I was particularly identified with most of the problems that Sam Weir (John Francis Daley) encountered during high school. I think that the problems chosen are very accurate and the acting is great too. Regarding to the music, I think it's amazing; I just loved it. Although it annoys you if you watch many episodes on the same day, I think that Bad Reputation is a great choice as a theme song. And if you watch the whole season you'll see which album is amazing too…So if you want to have fun or if you want to revive your high school years, I recommend watching F&G. It's a really good TV show and it has lots of deep issues, such as how important are our parents and friends and even our own decisions in our teens. 9/10 stars.

Mr-Fusion There's an authenticity at the heart of "Freaks and Geeks" that won me over when I first watched it, and keeps me coming back again and again. It's set way before I ever went to high school, but the issues herein are timeless. And the writing for these characters hits on the anxieties of coming-of-age, at least for me. This is subject matter that varies from hilarious to deeply sad - both genuinely so. What's odd (or cool) is that, in a cast full of future comedy stars, it's Martin Starr who gets all of the great lines (not to mention the pivotal role in "Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers", my vote for series best episode).And they really nailed 1980, not just with the soundtrack (a stellar list of song choices) but also the production design. Knock a point off for seeing no snow during a school year, but seeing as they were depicting suburban Detroit in Newhall, California, they did a bang-up job. It feels real without looking like they just plastered products on the set. Case in point, the Weir house; lived-in and decorated by baby boomers. You've seen this kind of house before.The quality here is beyond question. This is a personal favorite.10/10
