Freaks and Geeks
I have just discovered this show, and I'm loving it! Now before I cop any shit about it's really old, we didn't get shows like this from America back in 1999-2000, nor did our magazines or anything report on them. And having Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jason Segal, and Sweets from Bones all on one show, my mind is fucking blown!!!
But yeah, I'm only two episodes in right now, but I feel I'll have the whole thing watched in the next two days. Please feel free to share your memories of the show in here. Quote:

I watched the pilot episode on the Netflix a few weeks back and enjoyed it. I too had never seen the show before. I got distracted and haven't continued watching the show. Perhaps I will pick it up again and keep you company in this thread.

it is good. I wanted to have the sex with Linda Cardellini. Shame it was only one season.

Check Undeclared next. A Lot of the same cast members in another failed 1-season show.

Yeah it's sweet. Even Seth Rogen is almost tolerable in it. Bill's the best.

Just watched the second episode.... been awhile since I watched the first one, so I kind of "forgot" how much I like the extended cast feel....
Also forgot that the one chick from Buffy is in it... |

4th episode very good.... Had me cracking up....
Also Rashida Jones was in it... This is the last I'll be able to watch until Monday... I know I am probably setting myself up for a big disappointment now by watching it, because it is going to get to that point where there will be no more and I'd still want to watch these characters... |

YES! I knew Lindsay's dad looked familiar.... he is the Western Union guy from Back to the Future Part II (among other things I haven't seen)!
Lindsay is also the hussy who nearly ended Corey and Topanga.... |

Love this show. Lots of future star power here, and created by Judd Apatow before he was Judd Apatow. Shia LaBeuf makes one of his first movie/TV appearances in one episode as well. It's a little slow to rewatch, but I remember churning through this series in about 3-4 days. The last episode is definitely my favorite.

I'm up to episode 6 now, I'll watch that later on today. The only character I'm not really liking is Kim, but I guess she fits into the group okay. Kinda hard to believe the show is 15 years old, it would easily fit in with today's TV genres.

It takes place in Michigan. That is my memory of that show.

Really enjoyed the 4th episode where she became "friends" with Kim and met her parents and then Kim came over for dinner.... Dunno.... was just "hilarious" to me the awkwardness/crazyness/contrast...

I watched as it was airing on NBC. When it got yanked off the air I joined the fan group Operation Hauverchuck. Then finally when Fox Family got the rights I managed to see every episode. IIRC NBC aired all but 3 episodes. 1 of them,Kim Kelly is my friend,they refused to air cause of content. The other two I have no idea why they didn't show them. Bought the yearbook edition of the DVD set when it came out. Hoping one day we get a blu ray set. Best show I have ever seen. And one I go back once a year and rewatch. Hell it is the only show that if I am flipping channels and see it is on,I will watch it. |

I watched this when it first aired. Brilliant writing. I admit, I had trouble watching this show back then because it honestly reminded me a little too much of my own teen life, so I didn't even watch all the episodes until 2004 when it came out on DVD.
I'm glad so many of those guys went on to become such big stars. |

I still have 7 episodes to go. I haven't been well again over the last few days, and I've been sleeping a lot. I know you wouldn't, BUT, please don't post any spoilers on me

Re-watched this a few months back. The Track 123 stuff almost had me in tears.
