Freaks and Geeks (season 1)
{4.5/5} “You know, there was a girl in our school… and she had premarital sex. Know what she did on her graduation day? Died! Of a heroin overdose!” — Lindsay and Sam’s dad
Freaks and Geeks season 1, aired in 1999-2000
This show only lasted 1 season. It takes place in the 1980s. Lindsay is smart and was even a member of the mathletes but now she’s hanging out with a different crowd (the freaks). Her brother Sam is still hanging out with his best friends Neal and Bill (the geeks). It’s serious and funny — when it’s funny, it’s hilarious. My favourite character is Lindsay and Sam’s dad, played by Joe Flaherty. James Franco and Seth Rogen play two of the main characters.
Created by Paul Feig (director of Bridesmaids).
