Editor's Note

Despite being cancelled after only 18 episodes, the subsequent cult built up around the FREAKS AND GEEKS television series has seen the show's popularity skyrocket. Internet campaigns and strong word-of-mouth have lead to a burgeoning fanbase which has clamored for the release of the shows. Now finally available, the program is presented here in its entirety. Set in 1980, the show ostensibly follows two groups of high school kids (the "freaks" and the "geeks") as they attempt to navigate the pitfalls of adolescence. Among the colorful characters are the Geeks: Bill, Sam, and Neil, three awkward pre-teen friends undergoing some excruciating, but funny, growing pains. The Freaks are a group who revolve around Sam's older. army-jacket-clad sister, Lindsay, a talented mathematician undergoing various crises of confidence involving life, college, and her on-again, off-again stoner boyfriend. It all adds up to a potent mixture that is moving, funny, and grounded in a reality which accurately captures the often painful experience of being a teenager.

5 of 5 This show is brilliant. Wednesday, December 31, 2008
Mike B from Great Falls, VA  

Like Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks was a brilliant show whose plug was pulled way before it's time. I discovered the show when I had finished watching The Larry Sanders Show (also a Judd Apatow show) on DVD. I found out that Judd Apatow went on to do Freaks and Geeks after TLSS. Everything about Freaks and Geeks is spot on. There is a reason that all of these young actors have gone to become superstars (James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, etc...). Apatow somehow found a way of discovering these talented actors before anyone else did. And he's continued to hire them for all of his recent films (Pineapple Express, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, etc...). Brilliant show. Wish there were many more seasons.
