Freaks & Geeks

Anyone else watch the documentary on Freaks & Geeks last night on A&E?
I was at least mildly entertained (which is good for TV).
That show was like nothing else before it and it has influenced much since.

I would like to see this. Never heard of the TV show till about a couple of years ago or so either here or on the old zone.
My wife and I binged the show a while back. Damn fine television.

Hello, gents.
Jaz, Duke told us about it back in the day. I was here in the lowlands already when it aired originally, and I ignored television then anyway, so I knew nothing about it. Great show.
I still use the old you-know-what-happened-to-him line sometimes.
Did anyone from that show fail to get famous?

Wife and I were in TV mode at the time as our first kid was just born. Gotta say that I still have love for everyone of those kids --- plus Judd and Paul.

Judd Apatow, the creator, or
Judd Apatow, the creator, or at least one of the creators, speaks volumes of this show, how instrumental it was for his career-despite the fact that it was considered to be, kind of a failure. Only now seems to have a cult following and in a strange twist of revisionist history, gets kind treatment.

The show has had a 'cult'
The show has had a 'cult' following since it was aired. It wasn't the typical 26 minute problem=happy wrap up..nerd gets the prom queen...blah blah. The network & public knuckle draggers, in typical fashion, didn't get it.
There's a reason why almost every single person involved in that show went on to bigger things.

First thing my wife and I
First thing my wife and I binge watched when we started dating because I saw the show when it was on tv and mentioned it often.

thanks for the head’s up!
thanks for the head’s up! That was awesome, very insightful, and really interesting.
I was so fucking pissed when it was canceled. Last episode was (obviously) icing on the cake. Stellar everything about that show: storylines, casting, acting, writing, chemistry, humor, and just realness. Fuck you whoever that NBC head guy who never supported its potential (commercial) success.
