Am I the only one that noticed out of the main characters (Ken) Seth rogen we are never introduced to his parents? Every other main character we see at least one parental figure……

The girl on the far left, second row up. I think that's Becky Ann Baker next to her.

And yes, I know that Linda Cardellini is the best looking one in the picture. 😊

ETA: Lizzy Caplin apparently. Thank you.

This a playlist of songs that give me Freaks and Geeks vibes. Give it a listen if you're interested!

I know this is cringe, whatever. But this is the best tv show of all time. I’m just now watching it for the first time even though I’m 32, and my jaw drops with each episode.

This show is like if Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club had a baby. It is perfect in so many ways. And the acting!! Just superb all the way around.

I felt bad for Sam he thinks he's gonna enjoy being with Cindy Sanders but realizes she's not a very nice person. that's probably why todd dumps her .

Not only does it hope up amazingly well but the cast is so perfect in every regard. Just a tremendous show like I remember.

The fact it only lasted one season shows how stupid the general public is.

I'm Brazilian, so I'll tell you in advance that my English is pretty bad, but let's go ahead.

In the middle of 2010 and 2012, I remember that some relatives of mine came to my house and brought with them a black box with a disc inside, saying that it was a series that had been copied countless times from one computer to another, and that it was a very funny series to watch.

Coincidentally, it was a copy (probably corrupted) of Freaks and Geeks, which had some out-of-context cuts, which made the series look like a kind of "YouTube Poop", even though that wasn't its main intention. I briefly remember that in some scenes, some songs played randomly (I remember that was I Was Made For Loving You by Kiss) , and it was very funny.

As a way of saving it, I remember asking my uncle to make a copy of that damn series and post it on YouTube so I could watch it, but I ended up not even realizing it and watched it a few times on YouTube.

Today it's impossible to find it, I've looked everywhere, but all I'm left with are memories.

Because of this, I decided to materialize this story here on Reddit, which is where I believe there might be someone who can find some trace of it.

Was the episode originally planned for earlier in the season? Nick and Lindsay are still seeing each other and going on their “first date”, even though they broke up a few episodes previous and Nick was barely talking to her. Anyone else notice this?

Edit: Realized that Apple TV messed up the order of the episodes, beware if watching on that platform.

Just (finally) watched Freaks and Geeks. Absolutely loved it. I grew up watching Degrassi and even though that is my favorite teen show, Freaks and Geeks quickly rivaled that even in my 30s. This has been asked before, but is there shows like either of these that provide the same feeling/atmosphere of F&G and Degrassi without being super corny? Freaks and Geeks provided such a wholesome show that actually touched on growing up without so much drama (unlike Degrassi - my favorite coming of age show). It was so refreshing. I just fear, there’s not another show like it.

Bill Haverchuck is my hero.

I’ve noticed this before and watched happy days a lot when it was on TV Land, there are some similarities. The main family has two kids,the mom has red hair Neal is a lot like Ralph Malph,he wants to be a comedian,is always making jokes and doing impressions. His dad is a dentist and has similar tastes as him. Daniel is kind of like Fonzie. They don’t make him out to be as cool but in another show he would be. Ken is kinda like Ralph too. Both shows are set in the past. Sam and bill aren’t like Richie and potsie,but John had a band at one point, so maybe later they would’ve had Sam play music.

I went to high school in the 90s and they used that slur a lot. (Like in Jonah Hill's movie, Mid90s). Not sure how it was in the 80s though.

I tried googling but didn't find anything.. and then realize that's something the creators probably wouldn't admit to anyway.

Watching now and they mentioned John hinckley so…

The characters who wouldn’t be deceased by this point.

You can also share headcanons as to what kinds of jobs they’d have had by this point if you think any are retired or would have switched careers.

Or did the writers just forget it was a summer movie?

When the show ended and Ripple started playing... have been on the bus ever since.

A record store is mentioned in a couple episodes,but for some weird reason you never see them go there. They should’ve shown it!

Did anyone besides me ever feel sorry for Kim, particularly as it pertains to her relationship with Daniel? It always seemed to me that Kim thought she could get a "better" boyfriend - someone with a little ambition, maybe someone more loyal.

I always got a vibe between them. It’s like I said, I don’t think he liked her to the same extent but I always thought he liked her.

I always wondered this and wondered what one would be like. Especially when it seemed like every one from the show was getting their own starring vehicle. John’s obviously made lots of movies and shows,samm too. They’re friends with the cast still,they still hang out themselves. But they didn’t even have cameos in the deleted scenes in any of these either. Superbad seems like the one they’d most likely have been in if it was made earlier. I know their humor is a lot more dark/absurd than some of the others, but so are some of the movies?

A big one for me is that I think Daniel actually liked Lindsay back. Not as much as she liked him, but nonetheless I think he liked her. If I’m wrong about it and he didn’t, I think he’d have grown to like her as he got to know her better.

I’ve seen people here suggest that Daniel is the kind of guy who just goes after what he wants, but I honestly got the vibe that he was so comfortable with the arrangement he had with Kim/so used to it that he didn’t want to full on break the status quo by running after Lindsay and causing further drama within their group. Daniel is the kind of guy who would have a little crush on a friend while dating Kim, and I think Kim knew this.

That’s just my opinion though. I could be wrong.

FINAL EPISODE SPOILER AHEAD!!

Just finished watching Freaks and Geeks for the 1st time and I have to say, I found it hilariously ironic that Mr. Rosso - who spent the better part of the show trying to get Lindsay focused on schoolwork again as a “Track 1” student - gave Lindsay the Grateful Dead record which eventually led to her ditching the Academic Summit to go on the Grateful Dead tour. One of many “the path to hell is paved with good intentions” moments in the show. Poor Mr. Rosso.
