Obsessed: Freaks and Geeks

I found another TV show marathon over the Christmas weekend that totally sucked me in: Freaks and Geeks. This show ran for one year, 18 episodes from 1999-2000. It is set in the 1980s and follows siblings Lindsay and Sam through normal high school trials and tribulations. Lindsay is a former mathlete who has befriended a group pf "freaks" and Sam, younger, is clearly a "geek." I watched this show back when it originally aired and nowadays when people discuss TV shows that they miss, I always chime in with "Freaks and Geeks." When watching the reruns, I realized many awesome things. First, the executive producer was Judd Apatow. Second, while I remember the actress who played the Lindsay character clearly, I did not remember that James Franco, Jason Segal, Busy Phillips and Seth Rogan are all "freaks" as well. Additionally, there are appearances by the actor who played Biff in the Back To The Future movies, Rashida Jones and Ben Stiller. What a pleasant surprise! I really enjoyed watching all of the reruns, it really does show what high school was like for the rest of us :)
