User reviews Review. Top review. Quite possibly the best show in TV history. I had heard this series bandied around by its fans like it was the greatest work of art in television history. It seems to inspire maniacal devotion, so much so that its fans bend over backward to praise anything with the Judd Apatow stamp on it he was the producer, but not the creator, of this show. So, yeah, it had a lot to live up to. Somehow, despite all the praise it's gotten, it not only met my expectations, but wildly exceeded them.
Freaks and Geeks is nothing less than one of the finest, if not the finest, television series that has ever been produced. Set in a suburban Detroit high school in , the show follows the two titular groups the Freaks being stoners, rockers, hippies and the like , both headed by a member of the Weir family. Lindsey Weir Linda Cardellini is a junior, a former smart, goody-two-shoes type of girl who wants to leave her past behind to hang out with the freaks, mostly because she's attracted to Daniel James Franco.
Unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend, Kim Busy Philips. Sam Weir is a tiny 14 year-old freshman who gets picked on constantly, as do his two best friends, Bill Martin Starr and Neal Samm Levine. The show has a pretty even dose of comedy and drama. I teared up as much as I laughed, anyway. The scripts are just amazing, with the characters being some of the most fully-fleshed I've ever met on TV. Especially impressive is the fact that the writers don't make the adults in the show, the parents and the teachers, two-dimensional villains.
Nearer the beginning of the show, I was thinking that the Weir patriarch, played by SCTV's Joe Flaherty, was a tad too jokey, but he gains depth with every appearance. Dave 'Gruber' Allen stands out as the school's hippie guidance counselor, again, never stereotyped. Even when he's pitted against the main characters of the show, he always comes off as an adult who is genuinely trying to help those children in his charge.
The show features a wonderful soundtrack that rarely ever feels like you're just sitting listening to a classic rock station this is certainly why the DVD set costs a fortune.
Most of his advances end up making her feel more disturbed than love struck. Tension is created between Sam and Bill when Bill is paired with Sam's crush, Cindy, as her science partner. Sam becomes the McKinley basketball team's new mascot after the former mascot Shia LaBeouf ends with a broken arm. Sam becomes closer to Cindy but instead of winning her heart, he increasingly becomes frustrated with her apparent desire to be nothing more than friends.
He is also hurt because of her obsessive crush over the basketball team's star athlete, Todd Schellinger Riley Smith. Bill is tired of being confined to deep right field during PE baseball games. He is constantly embarrassed by Coach Fredricks in front of his classmates. Throughout his time in the team he is convinced he could be a great athlete if he were simply given a chance.
Instead of confronting Coach Fredricks with this dilemma directly, Bill takes the other route. He makes two prank phone calls to him, one of which consists entirely of insults. After Lindsay crashes the Weir family car while trying to help drive Daniel and his friends around, her parents are angry and indefinitely ground her. They forbid her from seeing the gang of freaks ever again.
Lindsay, who is pretty shaken up about the whole incidence, gladly abides and tries to reassociate herself with her old friends, including Millie.
